Benefits of Stateful Synchronization

• Improved reliability - By synchronizing most critical network connection information, Stateful Synchronization prevents down time and dropped connections in case of Security Appliance failure.
• Faster failover performance - By maintaining continuous synchronization between the Active and Standby Security Appliances, Stateful Synchronization enables the Standby Security Appliance to take over in case of a failure with virtually no down time or loss of network connections.
• Minimal impact on CPU performance - Typically less than 1% usage.
• Minimal impact on bandwidth - Transmission of synchronization data is throttled so as not interfere with other data.
