Abstract
Distributed systems primarily provide the access to data
intensive computation through a wide range of interfaces. Due to the
advances of the systems, the scales and complexity of the system have
increased, causing faults are likely bound to happen leading into diverse
faults and failure conditions. Therefore, fault tolerance has become a
crucial property for distributed system in order to preserve its function
correctly and available in the presence of faults. Replication techniques
particularly concentrates on two fault tolerance manners; masking the
failures on the fly as well as reconfiguring the systems in response. This
paper presents a brief reviews on different replication techniques, such as
Grid Configuration (GC), Box-Shaped Grid (BSG) and Neighbor Replication
on Grid (NRG) by comparing and formalizing its communication
costs and availabilities analysis based on k-out-of-n model. Each of these
techniques presents their own merits and demerits which form the subject
matter of this review.
