Exactly Belgique.

About computer redundancy and the security of having two computers "agree" on something.

A computer doing some useful job is obviously some hardware with some specialized software together performing the job. I have seen in the Telecom industry for instance several examples where the redundancy is on the hardware side but where you run the same software in both sets of hardware. This protects against hardware faliure but if the software fails both computers fail in the same way.

Now then where is your redundancy?
