More recovery and repair capabilities are being built into servers. Server providers are making efforts to reduce the failure rates of individual hardware components. Currently, on many servers, the loss of a processor causes the system to fail. In the future, the capability to detect a problem, de-allocate the processor, and continue operations with reduced performance will be standard on multiprocessor systems. The problem will still be reported, so that a repair can be made at a later time.
