4 Calendar Server Redundancy Group

The Calendar Server Redundancy Group target is a grouping of all Calendar server agent monitored targets that have identical configuration, characteristics, and functionality. While a single Calendar server instance is vulnerable to the failure of its host or system, a redundant group of Calendar Servers continues to function despite the loss of a Calendar server instance, hiding any such failure from clients, and allowing other Calendar server instances in the group to service the requests.
