Description: A redundancy system is a design strategy that involves duplicating critical components or functions within a system to increase its reliability and availability. This approach is commonly used in computer systems, networks, and applications where service continuity is essential. By implementing redundancy, the risk of failures is minimized, as if one component fails, another can take over its function without interrupting the service. Redundancy can be of different types, including hardware redundancy, where physical components such as servers, hard drives, or power supplies are duplicated, and software redundancy, which involves duplicating processes or services. This concept is fundamental in environments where data loss or system downtime can have severe consequences, such as in various sectors including finance, healthcare, or telecommunications. Implementing a redundancy system not only improves system resilience but can also facilitate maintenance, as it allows for updates or repairs to be carried out without affecting the overall operation of the system.
