Abstract

Traditional on-premises deployments often lack the built-in redundancy and failover methods of cloud-based solutions, even though they offer control and security. This study looks at the very important problem of making sure that on-premises applications, especially those that use Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases, are always available and can recover from disasters. Organizations can greatly reduce risks and keep downtime to a minimum by using load sharing, clustering, database replication, and network redundancy together. This essay looks at some good ways to put these ideas into action, such as automated failover systems, setting up a secondary data center, and strong security measures. By using these methods, businesses can make their on-premises infrastructure much more reliable and resilient, protecting their most important data and apps.

Keywords: On-premises, High availability, Disaster recovery, Redundancy, Failover, Load balancing, Clustering, Database replication, Network redundancy, Data center, Security, Cybersecurity
