  RAIS
  
     <architecture> (RAIS) The use of multiple servers to provide
     the same service in such a way that service will still be
     available if one or more of the servers fails.  The term may
     or may not imply some kind of load balancing between the
     servers.  See cluster.
  
     The term "RAIS" follows RAID, which describes schemes for
