Redundant site: A mirror or duplicate of the primary site, housing the same data and capabilities. It serves as a backup or disaster recovery solution, enabling continued operations even when the main site experiences downtime, disruptions, or catastrophic events. Its role can be passive, waiting in the wings to take over when needed, or active, participating in load balancing to improve performance and reliability.
