Abstract
A method for managing a database comprises causing a standby server to provide a development platform; causing the standby server to mimic an authenticating media access control (MAC) address of a primary server; causing the primary server to transfer data to the standby server in order to provide a backup of the data on the standby server; determining that the primary server is not able to perform one or more functions; provisioning the standby server, in response to determining that the primary server is not able to perform the one or more functions, to perform the one or more functions; and causing the standby server, after provisioning the standby server, to perform the one or more functions, wherein the one or more functions are verified via the mimicked authenticating MAC address.
