Apparatus and method for building distributed fault-tolerant/high-availability computer applications

摘要

Method and apparatus relating to building distributed fault-tolerant/high-availability computer applications are described. In an embodiment, a system may include an application, a router, and an update module. The application may execute a process in a pure distributed mode, a pure fault tolerant mode, or a distributed fault tolerant mode. The router may route communications between the application and another application independent of location of the applications. The update module may provide distributed functionality in the application. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
