ABSTRACT:
A fault tolerant multiple network server system in which multiple servers concurrently act as back-up servers for each other even while they are providing their own server services to the system. Rather than having an unused server monitoring for failure of a primary server and taking over control, each acts upon the network, but when its partner should fail, it assumes control of these partner servers storage subsystem. In this way, processing power of both servers is available during normal operation, but they each provide back-up capability for the other.
