Redundancy

The ability of a component or system to maintain or restore its function when a single failure has occurred. Redundancy can be achieved, for instance, by the installation of multiple components, systems or alternative means of performing a function.

Redundancy

Redundancy

Existence of more than one means for performing a required function

• Note: 1 to entry: The aim of redundancy is to provide backup in case of one or several failures of the means

performing a required function.

• Note: 2 to entry: Redundancy definitions for passive (cold) standby, active (hot) standby and mixed are given in

ISO 14224[15], C.1.2.

• Note: 3 to entry: Redundancy is sometimes (in IEC 61508[2] and IEC 61511[3]) called “fault tolerance”.

Redundancy

The ability of a component or system to maintain or restore its function when a failure of a member or connection has occurred. Redundancy may be achieved for instance by strengthening or introducing alternative load paths.

Redundancy

Additional or alternative systems, sub-systems, assets, or processes that maintain a degree of overall functionality in case of loss or failure of another system, sub-system, asset, or process Sample Usage: A lack of redundancy in access control mechanisms is a vulnerability that can result in a higher likelihood of a successful attack.

Redundancy

Ability of a structure to find alternative load paths following failure of one or more non-critical components, thus limiting the consequences of such failures.

• NOTE: All structures having redundancy are statically indeterminate. [ISO 19902:2007, definition 3.39].
