Your company requires a network design that ensures there is zero downtime during one of the server's maintenance or unexpected failures. Which of the following system configurations would best meet this requirement?
Active-passive
Active-active
Single-server system
Clustered environment without specific configuration for high availability
An Active-active configuration involves multiple systems running simultaneously, sharing the load equally. If one system fails, the others can seamlessly take over the entire load without any downtime, thus providing continuous service availability. In contrast, an Active-passive setup involves a standby server that only activates when the primary server fails, potentially causing a brief disruption. Single-server systems and Clustered environments without specific active-active setup do not inherently provide the automatic failover and load balancing required for zero downtime.
