Fail-soft: A type of fail-over system that is designed to provide a reduced level of service in the event of a failure or interruption. It is used to ensure the availability of services in case of failure but at a lower level than the primary system. For example, a fail-soft system may provide a limited number of services in case of a failure rather than all services.
