Accendo Reliability Webinar Series

Fault Tolerance

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

There comes a time in everyone's reliability journey' when it is either too hard or too expensive to keep perfecting your product, system, or service. Steel can only be so' pure. Clearances can only be so' accurate. Surfaces can only be so' smooth. And software can only be so' perfect. In fact, it might turn out to be better and cheaper to have two average' components, with one acting as a backup to the other. The premium' component might be too expensive or otherwise not as reliable as the backup system. Welcome to fault tolerance! This is where we design products, systems, or services to be able to handle faults, imperfections, deviations, errors, and lots of other things.

Fault tolerant design is the best approach to reliability. Or not. It depends on your design challenges. This webinar talks about fault tolerance in the hardware, software, and human domains of reliability. And how you can use these principles to make your product, system, or service that much more reliable (with minimum cost).

This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 27 July 2021.
