For failure interval determination, a determination module determines a failure interval for transactions in a transaction queue based on a number of processed transactions. A transaction timeout module fails a first transaction in response to the first transaction not processing within the failure interval.

Failure interval determination

A method according to one embodiment includes copying data incoming to and/or generated at a production site to a copy cluster at a remote copy site, thereby creating a redundant copy of the data at the copy cluster. When the copy cluster becomes unavailable, data incoming to and/or generated at the production site is copied to a backup reserve site after the copy cluster becomes unavailable. Additional systems, methods, and computer programs products are also presented.
