What happens when the server goes dark? Our plan for a second node that takes the calls. Planned, not built.
Every MSP gets asked the same question sooner or later: what happens when the server dies? Today we want to tell you how we plan to answer it, and to be plain that this is a plan. None of it is built yet.
The idea
Two or three Kahevo servers on your own network, each one a node, working as one phone system. When one goes dark, another takes the calls. When it comes back, it waits for a moment that cuts no call.
No clustering software to license, and nothing to learn that is not Kahevo.
What stands today
| Piece | Where it stands |
|---|---|
| The whole system in one backup file | Built |
| Phones stay registered if the database drops out | Built |
| A branch box keeps its office talking when its link is down | Built |
The honest part
We have no date. It is next in line, and we will say here when the first node takes over a real call. If failover matters to your customers, tell us how they would want it to behave.
