    (ri-dun d&nt) (adj.) Used to describe a component of a computer or network system that is used to guard the primary system from failure by acting as a back up system. Redundant components can include both hardware elements of a system — such as disk drives, peripherals, servers, switches, routers — and software elements — such as operating systems, applications and databases.

    Redundancy is the quality of systems or elements of a system that are backed up with secondary resources. For example, “The network has redundancy.”
