Reliability of Internet access is essential to the ability of households and businesses to manage personal matters and conduct business. A home network of a private customer and a private network of a business enterprise can be connected to the Internet using customer premises equipment, such as routers, modems, switches, and the like. Conventional customer premises equipment collects and stores network-related data, such as settings of the customer premises equipment, setting of electronic devices connected to the Internet using the customer premises equipment, or policies for accessing the Internet by the electronic devices. If the customer premises equipment fails or is replaced with new customer premises equipment, all network-related data stored by the customer premises equipment may be lost and a set-up of the new customer premises equipment may be needed. The customer may need to manually provide settings for the new customer premises equipment.
It may be possible for configurations settings associated with customer premises equipment to be stored remotely, for example, on a cloud-based remote storage resource. For example, a virtual servicing node may be in communication with the customer premises equipment and responsible for collecting and storing the network-related data. However, conventional virtual servicing nodes serving the customer premises equipment are not fault tolerant. In case of a failure of the virtual servicing node, the customer premises equipment may lose access to the network-related data and the data connection of the customer network may be interrupted. Thus, failure of a virtual servicing node fail may result in thousands of customers losing data access.
