Abstract
A computer-implemented method for proactively evaluating failover nodes prior to the occurrence of failover events may include (1) identifying at least one primary node that services at least one application, (2) identifying at least one failover node designated to service the application if the primary node were to fail, (3) prior to detecting failure of the primary node, proactively evaluating the failover node's ability to service the application if the primary node were to fail, and then (4) in response to determining that the failover node would be unable to adequately service the application if the primary node were to fail, proactively performing at least one corrective action that would cause the application to be adequately serviced if the primary node were to fail. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
