Split-brain (computing)

In computing, split-brain is a state indicating data or availability inconsistencies originating from the maintenance of two separate data sets with overlap in scope, either because of servers in a network design, or a failure condition based on servers not communicating and synchronizing their data to each other. This last case is also commonly referred to as a network partition. The name is based on an analogy with the medical split-brain syndrome.
