Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for monitoring network node traffic and dynamically re-directing network node traffic from an active repository that has a non-operational data cluster, to a standby repository with an operational alternate data cluster. Particularly, a 'Data Redundancy Allocation' (DRA) system is described that can monitor the operational integrity of an active repository and dynamically co-ordinate and re-direct network node traffic to a standby, redundant data repository in response to detecting that the active repository is no longer operational. In doing so, the data redundancy allocation system may ensure a continuous communication stream of data traffic from network nodes to data repositories (i.e., active repository or a designated standby repository) in spite of a data repository inadvertently becoming non-operational, or intentionally brought offline for a planned upgrade.
