Abstract: The key concepts and techniques used to build high availability computer systems are
(1) modularity, (2) fail-fast modules, (3) independent failure modes, (4) redundancy, and (5)
repair. These ideas apply to hardware, to design, and to software. They also apply to tolerating
operations faults and environmental faults. This article explains these ideas and assesses highavailability
system trends. (Update)
