Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hot backup license?
A hot backup license, like the Cisco VOCALIZER Hot Backup license, provides the entitlement to run a secondary, fully operational instance of a system that is ready to take over immediately if the primary system fails. This ensures continuous service availability.
What does 'hot' mean in this context?
In 'hot backup', the backup system is running and synchronized with the primary system, allowing for near-instantaneous failover. This is distinct from 'warm' or 'cold' backups where the system may need to be started or configured after a failure.
