Abstract
A computer program product for redundant thermal sensing is configured to determine, based on component temperature information of a thermal sensor associated with a component, that a temperature of the component has surpassed a temperature threshold. The program code can be configured to identify a thermal sensor that is downstream from the component as defined by airflow. The program code can determine downstream temperature information as measured by the downstream sensor. The program code can be configured to compare the downstream temperature information and the component temperature information.
