fault tolerance
The ability of a system to continue to perform its function (possibly at a reduced performance level) when one or more of its components has failed.
Fault tolerance in disk subsystems is often achieved by including redundant instances of components whose failure would make the system inoperable, coupled with facilities that allow the redundant components to assume the function of failed ones.
