Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for balancing the requirements of high availability achieved by redundant active components and power saving achieved by less active components. The requirement for high availability can be expressed by the recovery time objective (RTO) which specifies the amount of time it takes to recover from a failure in the system. Based on the configured RTO, the system configures the most appropriate power mode.
