A distributed telecommunications system includes a master server, a back-up server and a plurality of computing nodes. The back-up server monitors the operational status of the master server, via a heartbeat process or a polling process. If the master server fails operationally, the back-up server assumes the role of the master server. The new master server requests a new back-up server via a tuple space command. One of the available computing nodes assumes the role of the new back-up server.
