What is the definition of a single point of failure in a distributed system? |
|
Answer» Any component in a SYSTEM that fails and renders the ENTIRE system worthless is known as a single point of failure. For instance, a computer that uses RAID storage can keep running even if one of its discs fails. We also have websites that replicate application servers on a wider scale. They, too, maybe vulnerable to SPOFS, as one server may go down with all data INTACT while the rest of the system remains operational. |
