FIG. 18 shows an exemplary periodic IRIS system check for system failure. When failure happens, the system fail handover mechanism is activated. First, failure is detected and the failed node is recognized. The functions of failed node are handed over to shadow system and success feedback is sent back to an upper level system if nothing goes wrong. Meanwhile, a failed system/subsystem is restarted and/or recovered from a most recent backup. If successful, feedback is reported to an upper level system. When the failure is addressed, the functions are migrated back to the original system.
Exemplary hardware and parameters that find use in embodiments of the present technology include, but are not limited to the following:
