Description: A fault-tolerant cluster is a set of servers that work together to ensure continuous availability of services and applications, even in the event of hardware or software failures. These clusters are designed to detect failures in one or more nodes and automatically redirect workloads to other operational nodes, thereby minimizing downtime. Key features of a fault-tolerant cluster include redundancy, where multiple instances of a service are available, and constant monitoring of node status to ensure that any issues are identified and addressed quickly. This approach is crucial in various business environments where service continuity is essential, such as in data centers, critical applications, and cloud services. Implementing fault-tolerant clusters not only enhances system resilience but also optimizes performance by efficiently distributing workloads across available nodes.
