About High Availability and Failover for Oracle Internet Directory

Oracle Internet Directory provides the high degree of system availability that mission-critical applications require. It does this by enabling:

• All components in the system to facilitate redundancy

• All interfaces to facilitate failure recognition and recovery, called failover

• Integration of application-independent network failover capabilities in the overall deployment

Oracle products are commonly targeted for high availability environments and hence necessary capabilities are built into all layers of the Oracle technology stack. Typically, it is not necessary to employ every failover capability in every component.
