Why do servers “go down” for routine maintenance? Is there not a backup where traffic can route?
In: 6
It depends on the company, how critical the server is, and what resources are available. Where I work, for example, space on the virtual host is at a premium, so unless we absolutely have to we are not going to stand up a backup server while we preform maintenance on a server. We opt instead to do our maintenance in off hours when not many people will be using the servers.
