From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
redundancy          1. The provision of multiple interchangeable       components to perform a single function in order to cope with       failures and errors.   Redundancy normally applies primarily to       hardware.   For example, one might install two or even three       computers to do the same job.   There are several ways these       could be used.   They could all be active all the time thus       giving extra performance through {parallel processing} as well       as extra availability; one could be active and the others       simply monitoring its activity so as to be ready to take over       if it failed ("warm standby"); the "spares" could be kept       turned off and only switched on when needed ("cold standby").       Another common form of hardware redundancy is {disk       mirroring}.          Redundancy can also be used to detect and recover from errors,       either in hardware or software.   A well known example of this       is the {cyclic redundancy check} which adds redundant data to       a block in order to detect corruption during storage or       transmission.   If the cost of errors is high enough, e.g. in a       {safety-critical system}, redundancy may be used in both       hardware AND software with three separate computers programmed       by three separate teams and some system to check that they all       produce the same answer, or some kind of majority voting       system.          2. The proportion of a message's gross       information content that can be eliminated without losing       essential information.          Technically, redundancy is one minus the ratio of the actual       uncertainty to the maximum uncertainty.   This is the fraction       of the structure of the message which is determined not by the       choice of the sender, but rather by the accepted statistical       rules governing the choice of the symbols in question.          [Shannon and Weaver, 1948, p. l3]          [Better explanation?]          (1995-05-09)

Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks          (RAID.   Originally "Redundant Arrays       of Inexpensive Disks") A project at the computer science       department of the {University of California at Berkeley},       under the direction of Professor Katz, in conjunction with       Professor {John Ousterhout} and Professor {David Patterson}.          The project is reaching its culmination with the       implementation of a prototype disk array file server with a       capacity of 40 GBytes and a sustained bandwidth of 80       MBytes/second.   The server is being interfaced to a 1 Gb/s       {local area network}.   A new initiative, which is part of the       {Sequoia 2000} Project, seeks to construct a geographically       distributed storage system spanning disk arrays and automated       libraries of {optical disk}s and tapes.   The project will       extend the interleaved storage techniques so successfully       applied to disks to tertiary storage devices.   A key element       of the research will be to develop techniques for managing       latency in the I/O and network paths.          The original ("..Inexpensive..") term referred to the 3.5 and       5.25 inch disks used for the first RAID system but no longer       applies.          The following standard RAID specifications exist:             RAID 0 Non-redundant striped array          RAID 1 Mirrored arrays          RAID 2 Parallel array with ECC          RAID 3 Parallel array with parity          RAID 4 Striped array with parity          RAID 5 Striped array with rotating parity          {(ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/doc/techreports/berkeley.edu/raid/raidPapers)}.       {(http://HTTP.CS.Berkeley.EDU/projects/parallel/research_summaries/14-Computer-Architecture/)}.          ["A Case for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)",       "D.
