Is it possible to have redundancy with synchronization? To have two machines functioning as servers running synchronization in parallel?
why do you need redundancy?
Connection resiliency?
Load sharing?
The solution really depends on what problem you are trying to solve.
Why not just setup another machine and share all the folders to it. Let other machines also share with the second “server”.
syncthing is distributed. There is no “server” and “client”. They are all servers and clients to each other.

I would like to have the server in two different locations; today, for example, a power pole was knocked down and the whole building lost power.
Hello @wagner2029 ! I suggest you read what @mraneri wrote one more time. Slowly. 
With Syncthing, NO machine is a “server”. All devices are equal partners, regardless of if you call them server or not. Feel free to add another machine, as you wrote about, if you feel that the other machines does not have uptime or connectivity to your liking.
Yep. Add another machine that shares all of the folders. Make sure they can talk to each other.
My scenario is a matrix with 10 local users and 12 remote users. I need to keep backups and file versioning centralized. My question is: I have server A, clients B and C. If server A goes down, will clients B and C be able to exchange files with each other?
But would I be sharing the same folder between them? Server A with c:\files Server B with c:\files as well? On the clients, would both shares be pointing to the same location?
Server A and server B will each have their own copies of the same files. You can have syncthing store them wherever you want on each machine.
all your other devices you connect to both A and B. And you don’t care then which machine your devices connect to. In fact it may connect to both at the same time. Changes will be sent/received to either or both A and B and any machine may get parts of new files from each server.
You can have all of your local devices also connecting to each other such that if both servers become unavailable but two laptops can reach each other, the files will still be transferred.
It all just works.
