Reliability- an attribute of any computer-related component that consistently performs according to its specifications. (Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/reliability)
This means that it runs consistently well and doesn't break.
Redundancy- the inclusion of extra components which are not strictly necessary to functioning, in case of failure in other components.
An example of this would be an extra PSU or in extreme cases, an SLI (Scaleable Link Interface) configuration, that will still work even if one of the GPUs fail.
