Fault tolerance is the capability of ensuring data integrity when hardware and software failures occur. This chapter focuses on the Storage Foundation for Windows standard features that provide fault tolerance.

Note:

Additional fault tolerance for your storage can be gained through the program's options. The Microsoft Failover Clustering support option provides fault tolerance for up to eight servers through clustering. The Dynamic Multi-Pathing option provides multiple paths from the server to a storage array to ensure application availability.
