RSS mtbfReliability Analysis of the APC Symmetra MW Power System
White Paper In contrast to common MTBF calculations based on summing component failure rates, this study used techniques of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to calculate the likelihood of over 680,000 potential failure modes. [01 Oct 2009]
Performing Effective MTBF Comparisons for Data Center Infrastructure
White Paper Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is often proposed as a key decision making criterion when comparing data center infrastructure systems. This paper explains how MTBF can be effectively used as one of... [01 Oct 2009]
Field MTBF Numbers: What Do They Really Mean?
White Paper MTBF is an acronym for Mean Time Between Failures. In general, a higher MTBF number indicates a more reliable product. In the military/aerospace industries, MTBF is defined by a specific... [13 Jan 2009]
Mean Time Between Failure: Explanation and Standards
White Paper MTBF is largely based on assumptions and definition of failure and attention to these details are paramount to proper interpretation. This paper explains the underlying complexities and misconceptions of... [01 Dec 2008]
Next-Generation Switch/Router Diagnostics and Debugging
White Paper The goal for a next-generation diagnostics and debugging system for switch/routers is to improve system uptime and availability by preventing the occurrence of certain types of hard errors (increasing system MTBF) and by... [08 Feb 2008]
