Using of Fault Tolerant Distributed Clusters in the Field of Command and Control Systems
Aurel Serb, Patriciu, Victor V. · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 2001
Military systems must not succumb to different faults and must continue to operate reliably in spite of occasional occurrences of component failures. A fault tolerant solution improves data and applications availability by allowing that a number of nodes to share the same hard disks within a cluster. When a node in the cluster fails the fault tolerant cluster software will recover and disperse the work from the failed node to another node within the cluster. As a result, the failure of a system in the cluster will not affect the other systems and in most cases the client applications and data will be completely unaware of the failure.
