The term 'failover server' is predominantly used in English within the IT industry in both Brazil and the USA. Brazilian IT professionals commonly use the English term directly ('servidor de failover') rather than translating it, reflecting the dominance of English in international technology documentation. In Portugal, there's slightly more tendency toward translation or descriptive phrases, though the English term is still widely understood and used in professional contexts.
