SDN networks would have many advantages to be used as fault-tolerant Big Data infrastructures such as programmability and global network view which help monitor and control the network behavior adaptively and efficiently. This chapter studied a number of requirements to provide fault tolerance in networks that Big Data applications perform upon. First, we studied the key requirements to be fault tolerant. The network topology design is crucial to provide resiliency against node or link failure. Second, we mentioned the principle concepts of fault tolerance and elaborated on reactive and proactive methods as two common approaches to deal with the failures in networks. Third, the fault-tolerant mechanisms in SDN architecture and their advantages were elucidated. Consequently, we investigated a number of studies that leverage SDN to provide fault tolerance. Finally, this chapter was concluded by introducing open issues and challenges in SDN architecture to provide a perfect fault-tolerant network.
