Overcome network outages, power failures and other interruptions
If your organization experiences continuity issues, you ensure you can still communicate. Resiliency is a licensed feature for our InformaCast Advanced software. In the event of a network outage, power failure, or disruption to your primary InformaCast Advanced server, a secondary InformaCast Advanced server automatically takes over so you can continue to share critical information with your people.

How It Works
- InformaCast Resiliency allows you to have clusters of servers running InformaCast Advanced mass notification software. A cluster can contain one publisher and one subscriber.
- Messages and recipient groups replicate from the publisher to the subscriber.
- Each server has a priority ranking. A server will automatically become active if all of the servers ranked in front of it are unavailable.
- InformaCast Resiliency provides failover, not additional capacity.
Using Resiliency
- The web user interface provides a single point of administration.
- You can initiate a mass notification on a cluster of servers by picking up an IP phone and dialing a designated extension. InformaCast Resiliency and Cisco Unified Communications Manager find the active server and send your message to those who need to hear it.
- Keep each InformaCast server bookmarked. Log in to the active server to send your message.
