Abstract

The paper overviews theoretical background and real-world implementations for High Availability (HA) and Storage Area Network (SAN). A systems analysis process is described and a platform was built to integrate the HA and the SAN for an academic library's critical web server and its Content Management System. Recommendations for selection and implementation are suggested for people adapting this approach.
