“Reduncdancy in resilient system design involves using multiple identical components or systems to perform the same function. Its primary purpose is to ensure continued operation if one component fails; another identical one can immediately take it s place, providing fault tolerance against individual failures. However, reduncancy alone has a significant limitation: it is vulnerable to common-mode failures. A common-mode failure occurs when a single event, design flaw, or vulnerability affects all identical redunadat components simultaneously or similarly, causing them all to fail.”
