Abstract
A system, method and program product for proving a bridging infrastructure for handing failover situations using complimentary appliances. Each appliance includes: a first primary gateway configured for communicating a first message flow; a standby gateway configured for communicating a second message flow, wherein the standby gateway is placed in a standby mode during normal operations; and a controller service that monitors a complimentary appliance having a second primary gateway for communicating the second message flow, wherein upon a detected failure of the complimentary appliance, the controller service causes the second message flow to be redirected through the standby gateway.
