What is Fault-Tolerance?
Fault tolerance - the property that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of one or more of its components.
- An example is a typical car, which is designed so it will continue to be drivable if one of the tires is punctured or damaged.
- In computer systems, a fault-tolerant design enables a system to continue its intended operation, possibly at a reduced level, rather than failing completely, when some part of the system fails.
