Definition: Fail over is a term for redundancy that allows a system to continue running when there is a failure of a key component.

What This Means: Fail over systems automatically keep things running when a system failure would otherwise bring down an application or service. A teacher’s class taking an on-line benchmark assessment would not notice a server crash if the failover system performs adequately.
