Backing up a server has great benefits to a stable playback environment when it comes to digital signage, according to CAYIN Technology Co.
CAYIN Technology said in a recent announcement it has released its "long-asked-for" server Redundancy program, otherwise known as Failover Solutions. The feature is available on all version 9.0 CMS servers.
To enable the Redundancy feature, users can purchase two identical servers, or simply add a second server (of the same model and firmware version) to an existing network. The second unit will act as a 24/7 safety net should anything happen to the main server, the company said. If an outage occurs on the main server, the backup server will automatically take over the connection, and vice versa. The redundancy status can be monitored from both the backup and major server dashboard.
CAYIN's Redundancy is essentially a backup process for preventing data loss and service outage. Redundancy service provides a more secured playback environment for the SMP players managed by a CMS server, by constantly syncing all the settings and contents into a backup CMS server. Whenever a major CMS is offline, or unable to connect to its SMP players, the backup server will automatically divert the connection until the major CMS becomes available again
CAYIN Technology develops digital signage players, servers, and software, which are widely used in more than 80 countries. Its flexible platform is the best choice for system integrators to provide diversified solutions.
