Fault Tolerance §

Group: 4 #group-4

Relations §

• Resilience: Resilience is the ability of a system to recover from failures and continue operating, even in the presence of faults or errors.
• Disaster Recovery: Disaster recovery is a set of policies and procedures that enable the recovery of critical systems and data in the event of a catastrophic failure or disaster.
• Fault Masking: Fault masking is a technique that hides or masks the effects of a fault from the rest of the system, allowing it to continue operating as if no fault had occurred.
• Fault-Tolerant Design: Fault-tolerant design is the process of designing systems and architectures with fault tolerance as a key requirement, incorporating various techniques and mechanisms to ensure reliability and resilience.
• Fault-Tolerant Networks: Fault-tolerant networks are designed to continue operating and delivering data even in the presence of failures or errors in network components or links.
• Replication: Replication is a fault tolerance technique that involves creating and maintaining multiple copies of data or components across different systems or locations.
• Fault-Tolerant Storage: Fault-tolerant storage systems are designed to protect data integrity and availability in the event of hardware failures, software errors, or other faults.
• Autonomous Systems: Fault tolerance mechanisms are important for ensuring the reliable operation of autonomous systems.
• Fault-Tolerant Computing: Fault-tolerant computing is a field of study and practice focused on developing and implementing fault-tolerant systems and architectures.
• Fault Isolation: Fault isolation is the process of identifying and containing the effects of a fault to prevent it from propagating and affecting other parts of the system.
• Failover: Failover is a fault tolerance mechanism that automatically switches to a redundant or standby system when a failure occurs.
• Fault Detection: Fault detection is the process of identifying and locating faults or errors in a system, which is a prerequisite for fault handling and recovery.
• Redundancy: Redundancy is a key technique used to achieve fault tolerance by providing backup or duplicate components or systems.
• Distributed Systems: Distributed systems are inherently more fault-tolerant than centralized systems, as they can continue operating even if some components or nodes fail.
• Distributed Systems: Distributed systems must be resilient to failures of individual components.
• Checkpointing: Checkpointing is a fault tolerance technique that involves periodically saving the state of a system or process, allowing it to be restored or rolled back in the event of a failure.
• Fault Handling: Fault handling is the process of responding to and managing faults or errors in a system, which may involve recovery, failover, or other fault tolerance mechanisms.
• High Availability: High availability is a characteristic of fault-tolerant systems that ensures continuous operation and minimal downtime.
• Reliability: Reliability is a measure of the ability of a system to perform its intended function without failures or errors over a specified period of time.
• Load Balancing: Load balancing is a technique used to distribute workloads across multiple resources or systems, which can improve fault tolerance by providing redundancy and failover capabilities.
• Graceful Degradation: Graceful degradation is a fault tolerance technique that allows a system to continue operating at a reduced level of performance or functionality in the event of a failure.
• Decentralized Control: Decentralized systems are designed to be fault-tolerant, meaning they can continue operating even if some nodes fail or become unavailable.
