Planned failover can be utilized in multiple scenarios including planned disaster recovery testing, a proactive approach to large scale disasters, or to recover from non-storage related outages.

During the planned failover process, the primary and secondary regions are swapped. The original primary region is demoted and becomes the new secondary region. At the same time, the original secondary region is promoted and becomes the new primary. After the failover completes, users can proceed to access data in the new primary region and administrators can validate their disaster recovery plan. The storage account must be available in both the primary and secondary regions before a planned failover can be initiated.

To understand the effect of this type of failover on your users and applications, it's helpful to know what happens during every step of the planned failover and failback processes. For details about how this process works, see [How customer-managed (planned) failover works](storage-failover-customer-managed-planned.md).

### Customer-managed (unplanned) failover

<!--Although both types of customer-managed failover work in a similar manner, there are primarily two ways in which they differ:

124-
- The management of the redundancy configurations within the primary and secondary regions (LRS or ZRS).
125-
- The status of the geo-redundancy configuration at each stage of the failover and failback process.

The following table compares the redundancy state of a storage account after a failover of each type:

If the data endpoints for the storage services in your storage account become unavailable in the primary region, you can initiate an unplanned failover to the secondary region. After the failover is complete, the secondary region becomes the new primary and users can proceed to access data there.
