Abstract
Traditionally, the fault tolerance is a matter of redundancy, where hardware components are replicated or additional considerable lines of program code are inserted. In spite of the widespread usage even for the basic voted-groups architectures, the problem of complexity always has to be taken into account and could lead to decrease system reliability. In this paper the combined software and hardware methods to achieve necessary system requirements without enlarged implementation price and complexity is proposed. The reducing of system complexity helps to make up to 50% savings in development life cycle stage with higher availability and higher safety.
