A failover recording server has two services installed:
In a cold standby setup, this service is only started when required, that is when the cold standby failover recording server takes over from the recording server. Starting this service typically takes a couple of seconds, but may take longer depending on local security settings and more.
In a hot standby setup, this service is always running, allowing the hot standby server to take over faster than the cold standby failover recording server.
