If only one component exists to perform a certain function, when it fails, the system fails. This problem can be reduced by installing additional components, so that if one fails, there is another to do the job. In other words, higher reliability can be attained by providing a backup (or redundant) component. It is important to understand that this redundancy is provided primarily to ensure reliable operation, not to allow more convenient maintenance. 1, record 6, English, - redundancy

Si un seul composant est voué à une fonction particulière, lorsqu'il subit une défaillance, c'est tout le système qui en subit les conséquences. Ce problème peut être atténué en installant des composants additionnels, de manière à ce que s'il y a une défaillance, un autre composant prendra la relève. En d'autres mots, une fiabilité plus élevée peut être obtenue en assurant la présence d'un composant de secours (ou redondant). Il est important de comprendre que cette redondance vise essentiellement à assurer le fonctionnement fiable, et non à permettre un entretien plus pratique. 1, record 6, French, - redondance
