A system designed with redundancy so that it can continue to function when faults, such as damage to hardware, software, or data, occur.

A method of making a LAN resistant to cable or hardware problems. In reference to a LAN, fault tolerance is accomplished with the use of a transceiver/MAU, hub or multiport repeater where each segment can be isolated from others and the rest of the LAN remains up and running with no loss of data.

A system's ability to enable continuity to be maintained in a user session when a system process fails. Once the process fails on the server, another process is launched to resume the user session from where it left off, with little to no loss in productivity.

A network that is fully redundant and has maximum up-time is considered fault tolerant. In other words, should a component of the network fail, the network will continue processing requests and the failure will be transparent to clients.

A system's ability to continue to perform its function in response to a failure of some of its parts, so that data is not lost or corrupted and service is not disrupted.

the ability of a system to recover from failures

A design method that ensures continued systems operation in the event of individual failures by providing redundant systems elements.

The ability of a system to respond to an event such as a power failure so that information is not lost and operations continue without interruption.

The ability for a computer application or system to continue to operate properly when a failure occurs, such as a power loss. Also used to describe the ability of an application system to detect errors and notify the user.

A computer or operating system's ability to respond to a catastrophic event like a power outage or hardware failure so that no data is lost or corrupted.

The description of a systems ability to maintain a dependable operating status in response to unpredictable hardware or software failure. Levels of tolerance range from 'low' - continued operations, to 'high' - mirrored operations capability guaranteed by a duplicate backup system. For example, in the event of a power failure on one computer, telephone or system, another can take over.

The assurance of data integrity when hardware failures occur. On the Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms, fault tolerance is provided by the Ftdisk.sys driver.

refers to a system where one component can quickly be replaced without causing a loss of service, such as in a RAID system.

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue functioning when part of the system fails. The expression fault tolerance is typically used to describe disk subsystems, but it can also apply to other parts of the system or the entire system.

The ability of a computer and an operating system to respond gracefully to catastrophic events such as power outage or hardware failure. Usually, fault tolerance implies the ability to either continue the system?s operation without loss of data or to shut the system down and restart it, recovering all processing that was in progress when the fault occurred.

A method of making a computer system or network resilient to faults or breakdowns to avoid lost data and downtime. For servers this involves such techniques as disk mirroring, disk duplexing or mirrored servers. For LANs and WANs it may involve the use of multiple redundant transmission links.

Fault tolerant systems use redundant components to minimize possible service interruptions due to failed systems or system components.

Redundant components in storage system provide security against system failure

A design method that incorporates redundant system elements to ensure continued systems operation in the event of the failure of any individual element.

"The ability of a system to respond gracefully to an unexpected hardware or software failure. There are many levels of fault tolerance, the lowest being the ability to continue operation in the event of a power failure. Many fault-tolerant computer systems mirror all operations - that is, every operation is performed on two or more duplicate systems, so if one fails the other can take over.

An option made available to recover your system incase of a hardware failure.

The ability of a network to function even after some hardware or software components have failed and are not available to the user. Fault-tolerant networks attempt to maintain availability by using component redundancy (hardware and/or software) and the concept of atomicity (that is, either all parts of a transaction occur or none at all).

The ability of a service to continue when a failure occurs. See also Resilience. Fault Tree Analysis A technique, using Boolean notation, of identifying the chain of events leading to an adverse impact on services.

The ability of a network or device to handle failure. Actually, a system that has been set up with data redundancy capability such that if the data is lost from one disk drive, it can be recovered from another. See also "Duplexing" and "Mirroring".

the ability of a system to cope with internal hardware problems (e.g., a disk drive failure) and still continue to operate with minimal impact, such as by bringing a backup system online.

The ability of a system to execute tasks regardless of strategic components failure. The ability of a network or device to handle failure. Fault-tolerant networks and devices are configured to minimize the impact of failure by switching to other equipment or cabling, lowering the amount of downtime. (7/96)

Ensures data integrity when hardware failures occur. Fault tolerance is provided using mirror sets, stripe sets with parity, and volume sets.

Ability of a computing system to withstand faults and errors while continuing to provide the required services.

The capability of a power supply system to sustain one or more faults without degrading the power to the load.

The ability of a system to continue to perform its functions even when one or more hard disk drives have failed.

The ability of a server to recover from hardware problems without interrupting server performance or corrupting data. Hardware RAID is most commonly used, but there are other types of fault tolerance - for example, controller duplexing and software-based RAID.

The ability of a system or component to continue normal operation despite the presence of hardware or software faults.

Handles temporary disruptions of eDirectory unavailability, with graceful degradation in functionality. This can be categorized as: Full Fault Tolerance: The state when eDirectory is down and access to the DNS server object is broken. The server will not accept the following: —Dynamic Update—Zone-in—Notify No write operation can be performed until eDirectory is up. The server will resolve only normal queries and zone-out transfer. Full Fault-Tolerance mode is applicable to all zones that are being serviced by the DNS server. Partial Fault Tolerance: The state when eDirectory is up but access to some zones is broken (because some eDirectory partitions are down or are not accessible). The server will not accept:—Dynamic Update—Zone-in—Notify No write operation to these zones is performed until the partition is down The server will only resolve normal queries for this zone. The queries are responded only until the expiration for a secondary zone and forever for a primary zone.

The ability to produce correct results, even in the presence of faults or errors, by the use of redundancying hardware or checking techniques.

A computer system's ability to handle hardware failures without interrupting system performance or data availability.

An error in a certain piece of software or media can cause the system to crash or the job to fail. Fault Tolerance is built in redundancy to make sure that the system does not fail or the job completes despite the error.

(Machine Safety) The ability of a system to function as it was designed even in the presence of faults or failures.

The ability of computer hardware or software to ensure data integrity when hardware failures occur. Fault tolerant features appear in many server operating systems and include mirrored volumes, RAID-5 volumes, and server clusters. See also: cluster; mirrored volume; RAID-5 volume

A design method that ensures continued system operation in the event of individual failures by proving redundants. At the component level, designers include redundant chips and circuits and add the ... more

The capability of a program or system to operate properly even if a failure occurs.

The ability to execute tasks regardless of the failure of strategic components.
