A system that continues to run at some reduced level of performance after one of its components fails. It is a level below fault-tolerant systems, which continue running at the same rate of speed. For example, a two-computer complex employing graceful degradation would be reduced to using one system if the other fails. With fault tolerance, a third computer would be standing by to take over in the event of failure. See fault tolerant. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Since the nature of the financial services business is such that our network is required to operate in the worst of conditions, including disaster situations and other events that cause stress to the communications infrastructure, we need constant uptime, with redundancy, resilience and graceful degradation features. This creates the ability to provide value-added system features such as graceful degradation and/or time-of-day services. A related benefit arising from Multi-Streaming is that it emulates the graceful degradation characteristic of analog signals. |
