contents Uninterrupted system availability is a critical requirement for enterprise operations, yet traditional high-availability clusters suffer from limitations such as single points of failure and inefficient resource allocation. This paper introduces and evaluates the Integrated High Availability Cluster (iHAC), a hybrid architecture designed to enhance system resilience and performance. The iHAC integrates the strengths of active-active and active-passive configurations to optimize workload distribution and failover capabilities. We conducted a comparative analysis, simulating iHAC against conventional (legacy) clusters using Riverbed Modeler (OPNET). The results reveal significant performance improvements: iHAC reduced the average HTTP page response time by over 40%, from five seconds in a traditional active-active setup to under three seconds. This was achieved alongside reduced network latency and increased overall throughput. This study validates the iHAC architecture as a superior design for building robust, high-performance systems, offering a practical path to greater operational continuity and resilience.
