Fault tolerance refers to the capability of a system to continue functioning correctly even in the presence of faulty components.
Fault-tolerant systems are designed to remain operational even when a part fails or experiences errors. This capability is crucial for maintaining services in critical applications and minimizing the impact of disruptions.
