Highly available systems for database applications

As users entrust more and more of their applications to computersystems, the need for systems that are continuously operational (24hours per day) has become even greater. This paper presents asurvey and analysis of representative architectures and techniquesthat have been developed for constructing highly available systemsfor database applications. It then proposes a design of adistributed software subsystem that can serve as a unifiedframework for constructing database application systems that meetvarious requirements for high availability.
