Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fault tolerance is the ability of an IS to continue functioning in the event of a failure or other unexpected situation. This can be achieved through redundancy or backup systems, which allow the system to continue operating even if one component fails. Hot site ready and cold site ready refer to backup locations where an organization can move its operations in the event of a disaster or other disruption, but do not necessarily indicate the ability of the IS to continue operating during a failure. System override does not accurately describe the ability of an IS to function during a failure.
