Explanation

Availability is the CIA triad principle ensuring that systems and resources are accessible when needed. Configuring two devices in a failover relationship means if one fails, the other takes over immediately, keeping services running. Authentication is about verifying identity. Integrity ensures data is unaltered. Confidentiality protects data from unauthorized access. None of these describe failover/redundancy - that is purely an availability concern.
