| fault tolerance | Fehlertoleranz (The ability of computer hardware or software to ensure data integrity when hardware failures occur. Fault-tolerant features appear in many server operating systems and include mirrored volumes, RAID-5 volumes, and server clusters) |
| fault tolerant heap | fehlertoleranter Heap (A heap manager that can tolerate some types of programming errors (faults) which in the default Windows heap manager would result in crashes) |
