# Detection

Unshared state failover is initiated by the EMS client. When a client setup for unshared state detects a lost connection to server (A), it attempts to connect to server (B), as defined in the connection factory.

Note: Unshared state is not limited to two servers. Unlike shared state failover, unshared state is controlled by the EMS client. The client can include more than two URLs in its list of additional servers.
