Availability is the probability that a system will work as required when required during the period of a mission. The mission could be the 18-hour span of an aircraft flight. The mission could be the 18-hour span of an aircraft flight.
For databases reliability, availability, scalability and recoverability (RASR), is an important concept. Atomicity, consistency, isolation (sometimes integrity), durability is a transaction metric. When dealing with safety-critical systems, the acronym reliability, availability, maintainability and safety is frequently used.
Availability is typically given as a percentage of the time a system is expected to be available, e.g., 99.999 percent ("five nines"). Serviceability or maintainability is the simplicity and speed with which a system can be repaired or maintained; if the time to repair a failed system increases, then availability will decrease. Serviceability ...
Availability Every request received by a non-failing node in the system must result in a response. This is the definition of availability in CAP theorem as defined by Gilbert and Lynch. [1] Note that availability as defined in CAP theorem is different from high availability in software architecture. [5] Partition tolerance
Availability of parallel components = 1 - (1 - X)^ N [3] Using parallel components can exponentially increase the availability of overall system. [2] For example if each of your hosts has only 50% availability, by using 10 of hosts in parallel, you can achieve 99.9023% availability. [3] Note that redundancy doesn’t always lead to higher ...
In engineering, reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) [1] [2] is used to characterize a product or system: Reliability: Ability to perform a specific function and may be given as design reliability or operational reliability; Availability: Ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment
Operational availability is used to evaluate the following performance characteristic. For a system that is expected to be available constantly, the below operational availability figures translate to the system being unavailable for approximately the following lengths of time (when all outages during a year are added together):
Minimum required availability of complex system is a key factor of many distributed and repairable systems like ATM network or Airliner. In Availability-based Contracts, [2] instead of parts, the supplier is paid for a guaranteed level of services, performance, and system capability, similar to availability-based tariffs for electric power.
