For other uses, see resilience (disambiguation).
In computer networking: “Resilience is the ability to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults and challenges to normal operation.”[1]
These services include:

- supporting networked storage
- maintaining service of communication services such as

Note that resilience is a superset of survivability.[2]
