Study About Computer Fault Tolerence

Computers will inevitably encounter problems. They will have setbacks, errors and failures that can limit a users’ efficiency. These inconveniences are numerous and wide-ranging: from small errors to complete system failure. These problems can be the result of environmental problems, hardware or software failure, hacking and even natural disasters. While these difficulties are inevitable, if the correct precautions are applied the damage they cause can be minimised. Proper training in networking, hardware and software will also limit these factors.

These precautionary measures can be divided into two major categories: fault tolerance and disaster recovery. Fault tolerance is the ability of a workstation or network to respond to a condition automatically, counteract appropriately and ideally resolve it, and thus reducing the impact on the system. To put it simply, if fault tolerance measures are implemented properly a user will probably not realise that a problem occurred at all. Fault tolerance typically takes the form of optimised power management (including a UPS system and surge protectors), disk system optimisation (such as striping, mirroring, duplexing or RAID), virus protection software and hardware and updating your OS, drivers and software regularly.

By implementing as many of these safeguards as possible a systems or network administrator manage any potential risks and address them immediately. However its important to prepare for the worst and the next section on disaster recovery should help users to do so.
