Explanation

A redundant power supply is a type of power supply that consists of two or more independent units that can provide power to the same device or system. A redundant power supply can increase the reliability and availability of the device or system, because if one unit fails, the other unit can take over and continue to provide power without interruption. A redundant power supply is often used in servers that require continuous availability, such as web servers, database servers, or file servers.
