Staff Computer Training 2 Benefits for Purdue  Architectural design that offers hardware redundancy – Each set of mailbox clusters will consist of an active and passive node. Any hardware failures on the active node will cause it to fail over to the passive node.  Load-balanced front end servers – The front end servers will consist of a load-balanced cluster. All connections (OWA, IMAP, POP, SMTP) will be distributed among these servers. If one server fails, the connections will be distributed to another machine.  Decrease in maintenance – The redundant architecture will allow patches to be deployed to one node at a time, while it is inactive. Then the activity will be failed over to the patched node so the other server can be patched.
