Another new word has just entered the pensions dictionary.
Quoted in Pensions Age, Dixons Retail group pensions manager Gerry Phillips,
talking of the new Profund Cloud service said “the automatic ‘failover’
capability within the service provides assurance to clients that service continuity
will not be compromised”.
Failover? Does he mean the software security? Or is it a misprint and he’s talking about the new systems ability to ‘fallover’ at any moment?!
Google to the rescue on this one. Apparently it’s a technical term for a computer switching to a standby system if the first one fails.
So what happens when my failover fallsover? Good job I’ve got backup then….
