Predictive Failure Analysis

Many server vendors provide a mechanism to anticipate system failures in advance. It is often called PFA (Predictive Failure Analysis).

Servers keep running until they don't run anymore. Often, there are not clear signs that the servers will go down. If zero downtime is necessary, consider using predictive failure analysis technology. This technology warns you up to 48 hours in advance of an imminent server failure. That's plenty of time to prevent disaster. The analysis method and terminology may differ, but most of the leading vendors provide PFA for the servers.
