Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Electrical redundancy | | French term or phrase: redondante à équilibrage de charge | I know that this is to do with electrical redundancy, but don't know enough about it to know exactly what this techical term means...below is the only context I have (from an otherwise fairly general document)...
mise en oeuvre concerne 1000 postes informatiques, l’hôtel du département et la cité administrative (600 postes).
Dans ce cadre, X a ainsi proposé une architecture LAN de niveau 3 entièrement routée et redondée sur plusieurs sites et un projet global WiFi greffé à la solution réseau. Simplicité d’installation, performance poussée et savoir-faire méthodologique ont présidé à l’élaboration de la solution X.
Le cœur de réseau est constitué de quatre châssis Niveau 2/3/4, disposant chacun d’une alimentation redondante à équilibrage de charge et formant un anneau double Gigabit, dont les extrémités sont connectées sur des modules et cartes différents afin d’assurer un niveau de redondance optimal. |

| | load-balancing redundant power supply (PSU) | Explanation:
I personally would prefer this word order.
I think this is probably one of those dual PSUs where both halves are normally used together, sharing the load, but if either half fails, the other half takes over at 100%. This is better than having 1 PSU working all the time and the other not, since just when you need it, you may find it doesn't work! And 1 PSU wears out before the other.
I can't help wondering if it isn't in fact 'load-sharing', but can't provide any evidence to corroborate that. |

Asker: Thanks Dusty - sometimes I don't know what I would do without you. I mean, I'd probably get there in the end, but it would take me SO much longer. How's the draughty old castle going?!
Regards,
Liz
