Fault-tolerant systems exist throughout the IT infrastructure today and can repair themselves after hardware or software failure occurs. Future applications will demand improved self-healing systems that can fix themselves before a permanent failure occurs. With rapid progress in all aspects of embedded microprocessor and dual-core chip development, expect self-healing systems ultimately to become a reality. The value of self-healing systems to the high-availability equation will be unprecedented and these architectures should eventually spread to any piece of computer technology. The new race to achieve beyond five 9s availability is under way.
When?
When will this become a reality?
