Advantages of Rendezvous Fault Tolerance Software Rendezvous fault tolerance software builds on the proven strengths of Rendezvous communications software. • Location Independence Programs that use Rendezvous fault tolerance software are not bound to specific computers, network addresses, nor even to a specific network. TIBCO’s subject-based addressing technology gives administrators deployment flexibility. • Scalability Rendezvous fault tolerance software supports any number of active processes—one, two, twenty, or twenty thousand—up to the intrinsic limits of the network and host computers. Programs can scale smoothly to any degree of redundancy—from one backup process to hundreds—without additional programming effort. • Network Non-Interference Several different fault-tolerant programs can share the same network without interference. • Convenience Rendezvous fault tolerance API is a decision-making tool. It organizes and directs programs for fault-tolerant backup behavior. It simplifies development and use of fault-tolerant programs. Like all other Rendezvous software, it is compact and easy to use. You can develop new fault-tolerant programs or retrofit existing programs for fault-tolerant operation.
