Avaya has patented a method for rapid failover in cloud-based services, minimizing communication interruptions. Independent arbitration between servers determines the active server, based on health assessments. The second server takes over upon detecting the first server’s failure, ensuring seamless transition with a health status message to the load balancer.

Rapid failover method for cloud-based services with minimal interruption
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888928B2) outlines a method for performing failover between servers in a cloud-based environment. The method involves executing streaming sessions in an active mode on a first server and in a standby mode on a second server, with memory and state maintained between the two. An arbiter on each server arbitrates states, detecting failures and transitioning execution to the standby server when needed. The second server then provides a health status message to a load balancer, initiating a failover completed by the load balancer.
Additionally, the patent describes memory and state replication between servers, as well as the provision of health signals to the load balancer indicating server status. In the event of a failure, the standby server initiates an active mode warm-up process and executes the streaming sessions in the active mode. The patent also covers a cloud-based environment with servers executing streaming sessions in active and standby modes, with an arbiter on each server performing state arbitration and facilitating failover processes. The servers provide health status messages to the load balancer, ensuring seamless transitions during failover events.
