👉 Sustained computing, also known as continuous or persistent computing, refers to the ability of computing systems to maintain and manage data, applications, and services over extended periods without interruption or degradation in performance. This involves the persistent storage of data, ensuring that information remains accessible and intact even when the system is offline or undergoing maintenance. Key aspects include automated data backup, regular system updates, and the use of robust infrastructure to handle ongoing operations. Sustained computing is crucial for applications requiring high availability, such as cloud services, databases, and enterprise systems, ensuring that users can rely on consistent access to their data and applications, even during unexpected outages or system restarts.
