Continuous Availability

Continuous Availability - A protocol, associated execution and ready state of functionality that virtually guarantees computing-system operational continuity in any downtime event. Continuous availability concerns itself with 1) the recovery of applications, data and data transactions committed up to the moment of system loss; and 2) seamless, 24x7 system availability that offsets any planned or unplanned downtime event.
