"Server-side Fail-over": SilverStream has monitoring software and failure detection for automatic restart should software component failure occur within server clusters, and auto-restart for standalone users.

"Session-level Fail-over": SilverStream replicates the state of a HTML application across servers in a cluster, with rerouting and session restoration of "next-page" information. The available server then restores the session information and presents the user with the next page in the application's sequence.

SilverStream provides a Persistent Session Object JavaBean, which is a server-side JavaBean used with any data base and replicates session information across servers in a cluster. The source code for the JavaBean utility is also available.
