instantly to any

network.

could even be one of

Failover
In the event of a complete unrecoverable failure of the primary
server, the ‘Alternate’ server can take over to provide all of the
functionality of the primary server with no ‘gaps’ in the data.
The failover process takes less than 45 seconds.

Recovery
When the primary server has been repaired, RmNetMon has an integrated ‘Restore
Wizard’ to automatically guide the process of converting back to normal operations.
The wizard makes multiple copies of the data- one copy of the data that
accumulated during the failover period, one copy of the data in it’s state at the time
of failure, and then it synchronizes the Primary Server and updates it to be current
with all sales, labor and any other transactions that took place during failover.
