virheenkestävyyskykyyn
Virheenkestävyyskykyyn, often translated as fault tolerance, refers to the ability of a system, process, or person to continue functioning correctly and without significant interruption in the presence of errors or failures. In computing, this concept is crucial for ensuring the reliability and availability of software and hardware. A fault-tolerant system is designed to anticipate potential failures and implement mechanisms to mitigate their impact, allowing it to maintain its intended operation.
This can be achieved through various strategies. Redundancy is a common technique, where critical components are
