AReliability Calculations and StatisticsIn this appendix we will discuss basic probabilistic and statistical coher-ences and quantities. Our goal is to learn how to use them in real life . Thetargets of our discussion are hardware components and hardware config-urations. Software shows failures of different kinds which do not apply tothe findings in this might say that Statistics is about large numbers (of outages) itdoes not apply to predicting failures which happen very seldom. Even ifthis is true, we can use Statistics and probabilities to predict reliabilitywhen we configure a system. It also helps to identify anomalies duringsystem operations. In particular we will address the following areas: In configuring a new system, there are many options. In theory, yourvendor of choice should offer thebestconfiguration for your needs; inpractice many of your hardware vendor s presales consultants fail todo this.
ment reaches its end of life. The time in-between is when we want to use the equipment for production. We will discuss this bathtub curve in Sect. A.6. However, manufacturers often provide impressive numbers for MTBF, 106-h run time (about 114 years) for a disk drive is a standard value nowadays. The inverse of the MTBF is the failure rate.
