Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers (RAIS) is a system using a number of servers to fulfill demands by distributing the workload, arranged in such a way that the failure of any one server (sometimes more) will not cause any piece of information to be inaccessible. This concept is currently taking on more significance in light of the latest internet paradigm shift called Cloud Computing.
