Abstract
A method and systems for a redundant server automatic fail-over system is provided. The system includes a plurality of client devices communicatively coupled to a network wherein the plurality of client devices each includes an active server identification location. The system also includes a first server system communicatively coupled to the network that is configured to operate as the active server on the network wherein messages sent to the first server system are addressed to the first server system using the active server identification location on each client device. The system further includes a second server system communicatively coupled to the network that is configured to operate as a standby server on the network and is configured to switch to being the active server on the network when it is determined that the first server system is unable to operate as the active server.
