The Eternal system provides transparent fault tolerance for CORBA applications, without requiring modifications to the application or the ORB, and without requiring special skills of the CORBA application programmers. Eternal maintains strong replica consistency as replicas of objects perform operations, and even as they fail and are recovered. Eternal implements the new Fault Tolerant CORBA standard.
