- The switching to a redundant or standby computer server, system, hardware component, or network upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active application, server, system, hardware component, or network. Failover and switchover are essentially the same operation, except that failover is automatic and usually operates without warning, while switchover requires human intervention. ← Wikipedia
