Failover for e-terrahabitat

I would like to be able to configure two identical instances of the e-terrahabitat connector on different computers, only one of which collects data from habitat at any given time. In the event that the primary instance or the machine that hosts it fail, the backup instance must begin collecting and sending data with minimal loss.

    With EMS in MSH configuration across multiple sites, native connector failover is required for HA. Setting up duplicate instances (one at each site connecting to only that site) only supports EMS failover, it does not support failure of the connector node. It is also not possible in MSH to enable cross site communication because both might connect. The only current way to do HA with this connector is to enable Windows Clustering which is a problem for control networks. Please support HA natively in the connector.
