Redundant Network Interface Card: The network card (typically Ethernet) is a potential point of failure. Servers often have more than one NIC installed, so your server won't drop off the network in the case of a NIC (or Ethernet cable) failure.

Redundant Power Supplies: Another potential single point of failure in a server is the power supply. Most servers will have redundant power supplies so the server will continue to operate even if one power supply fails.
