Two is One, One is None: A Discussion on Redundancy

Redundancy is the duplication of critical components or functions of a system with the intention of increasing reliability of the system, usually in the form of a backup or fail-safe. But the topic of redundancy can be a contentious topic; what is too little, too much, and just right may not be readily apparent. This presentation will be a discussion on redundancy situations from different industries as well as the evolving nature of the “best” amount of redundancy.
