Speicherrredundanz

Speicherrredundanz refers to the practice of duplicating data storage to ensure availability and protect against data loss. This can be achieved through various methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. One common approach is mirroring, where an exact copy of data is maintained on a separate storage device. If one device fails, the other can immediately take over, minimizing downtime. Another technique is RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), which combines multiple hard drives to improve performance and/or provide fault tolerance. Different RAID levels offer varying degrees of redundancy and performance.

Cloud storage solutions often incorporate speicherrredundanz by distributing data across multiple physical locations and servers. This geographical distribution adds another layer of protection against localized disasters or hardware failures. Backups are also a form of speicherrredundanz, though typically they are not accessed in real-time. Regular backups allow for data restoration in the event of corruption or deletion. The goal of speicherrredundanz is to create a resilient storage system that can withstand failures and ensure that critical information remains accessible and intact. The level of redundancy implemented depends on the criticality of the data and the acceptable risk of data loss.
