What is Single point of failure?
[[File:Single Point of Failure.png|thumb]] When looking at a technical system, a '''single point of failure''' is a [[component]] that will stop the whole [[system]] from working if it fails. Systems that are built for [[high availability]] or reliability usually are designed to avoid single point of failures. This is usually done by adding [[redundancy]], which is more than one thing that can do the same work. {{Stub}} [[Category:Systems theory]] [[Category:Control engineering]]
