Every full node in a blockchain network must maintain a copy of the entire blockchain. Therefore, all data on the blockchain is replicated to every full node, and no node depends on data that another node stores. If several nodes crash or are otherwise unavailable, other users of the application are unaffected. This resilience means that fault tolerance is built into the blockchain architecture. In addition, by distributing the entire blockchain to many nodes, which are owned by different organizations, you practically eliminate the possibility of one organization controlling the data.

Any application that benefits from high availability and freedom of ownership may be a good fit for blockchain. Many database applications go to great lengths to replicate their data to provide fault tolerance, and blockchain has it built right in!
