A shared server mirror refers to a replicated copy of a shared server's file system or data, typically used for backup, redundancy, or load distribution purposes. It ensures that multiple servers can access identical data, improving availability and fault tolerance.
For example, in a web hosting environment, a shared server mirror might store duplicate copies of website files across multiple servers. If one server fails, traffic can be redirected to another server with the mirrored data, minimizing downtime.
In cloud computing, Tencent Cloud provides services like Cloud Block Storage (CBS) with snapshot capabilities, allowing users to create point-in-time backups of their data. These snapshots can act as mirrors, ensuring data integrity and quick recovery in case of failures. Additionally, Tencent Cloud Load Balancer (CLB) can distribute traffic across mirrored servers, enhancing reliability and performance.
