High Availability

High availability (HA) is a deployment in which two firewalls are placed in a group or up to 16 firewalls are placed in an HA cluster and their configuration is synchronized to prevent a single point of failure on your network. A heartbeat connection between the firewall peers ensures seamless failover in the event that a peer goes down. Setting up HA provides redundancy and allows you to ensure business continuity.
