Paper Summary:

This paper provides an overview and explanation of fault tolerance. It specifically focuses on the method of fault tolerance by duplication and discusses this throughout the paper. It also links the advantages of fault tolerance to medical systems in California such as Palomar Pomerado Health.

From the Paper:

"Naturally you can see the importance of fault tolerance in a California hospital computer system and network. Situations and emergencies like surgery, patient monitoring and emergency room cases don't leave much margin of error. There is little room to explain that the computer systems failed during a patients surgery- --at least not without expecting an ugly lawsuit."
