Does Nirvana have any Failover capability?

Nirvana clients automatically handle disconnect and reconnection to any number of Nirvana servers. Should a Nirvana server disappear from the Nirvana namespace the client will automatically try to connect to the next defined Nirvana server.

In a single server scenario upon receipt of an abnormal disconnection a Nirvana client will automatically try to reconnect. The back-off period and interfaces handling reconnection are all fully exposed in a public API. They can be used to trigger off any number of specific events.

Nirvana is also fully compatible with high availability and business contingency products implemented within the underlying operating system. This means that Nirvana is compatible with existing HA/BCP policies as well as providing its own in build fail over functionality.
