from having a cold standby virtual machine for the Pub server (a replicated VM for the Pub which is turned off to backup Pub functionality in case of Pub failure), and also if the license will be valid on this cold standby VM for the Pub so that if the main
Pub fails and we turned on the cold standby Pub VM everything will be fine and the operation continues normally.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
