Nplus2 N+2 represents the amount required for operation plus two backups. For example, a car has four tires for operation. N+2 redundancy would require two spare tires. None
Nplus1 N+1 represents the amount required for operation plus a backup. It ensures system availability even in the event of a component failure. It is similar to the concept of a spare tire on your car. When you get a flat, you have the ability to swap out the flat with a spare tire. This simply means that you could survive one flat tire. None
Not applicable Not applicable None
