Keys are unique identifiers which map to particular values, which in turn can be anything from addresses, to documents, to arbitrary data. [2] Responsibility for maintaining the mapping from keys to values is distributed among the nodes, in such a way that a change in the set of participants causes a minimal amount of disruption.
Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.
Moose File System (MooseFS) is an open-source, POSIX-compliant distributed file system developed by Core Technology. MooseFS aims to be fault-tolerant, highly available, highly performing, scalable general-purpose network distributed file system for data centers.
A virtual IP address (VIP or VIPA) is an IP address that does not correspond to a physical network interface. Uses for VIPs include network address translation (especially, one-to-many NAT ), fault-tolerance, and mobility .
The preceding intuitive discussion implies simple technique for implementing a fault-tolerant service in terms of a State Machine: Place copies of the State Machine on multiple, independent servers. Receive client requests, interpreted as Inputs to the State Machine. Choose an ordering for the Inputs. Execute Inputs in the chosen order on each ...
A fault-tolerant computer system can be achieved at the internal component level, at the system level (multiple machines), or site level (replication).. One would normally deploy a load balancer to ensure high availability for a server cluster at the system level. [3]
In computing, System Fault Tolerance (SFT) is a fault tolerant system built into NetWare operating systems. Three levels of fault tolerance exist: Three levels of fault tolerance exist: SFT I 'Hot Fix' maps out bad disk blocks on the file system level to help ensure data integrity (fault tolerance on the disk-block level)
Stratus Technologies, Inc. is a major producer of fault tolerant computer servers and software. The company was founded in 1980 as Stratus Computer, Inc. in Natick, Massachusetts, and adopted its present name in 1999. The current CEO and president is Dave Laurello.
