directory for its host domain and a partial copy of all objects for all other domains
in the forest.
Graceful (Clean) Shutdown
A shutdown of SolarWinds Failover Engine based upon completion of replication
by use of the SolarWinds Failover Engine SolarWinds Failover Manager,
resulting in no data loss.
Group
An arbitrary collection of SolarWinds Failover Engine Clusters used for
organization.
Hardware Agnostic
A key SolarWinds Failover Engine feature allowing for the use of servers with
different manufacturers, models, and processing power in a single SolarWinds
Failover Engine Cluster.
Heartbeat
The packet of information issued by the passive server across the channel,
which the active server responds to indicating its presence.
High Availability (HA)
Keeping users seamlessly connected to their applications regardless of the
nature of a failure. LAN environments are ideally suited for HA.
Hotfix
A single, cumulative package that includes one or more files that are used to
address a problem in a product.
Identity
The position of a given server in the SolarWinds Failover Engine Cluster: primary
or secondary.
Install Clone
The installation technique used by SolarWinds Failover Engine to create a
replica of the primary server using NTBackup or Wbadmin and to restore the
replica to the secondary server.
Low Bandwidth Module (LBM)
SolarWinds Failover Engine module that compresses and optimizes data
replicated between servers over a WAN connection. This delivers maximum
data throughput and improves application response time on congested WAN
links.
