Understanding "Mean Time Between Failure"
Category: Servers and Server OS, IT Management
Tags: time, management
Overview Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is a much-used management metric in IT both for discrete components as well as overall systems. It is an important metric to track in regard to system reliability. Even fault-tolerant servers fail. As the level of complexity and coupling increases, systemic failure due to the accumulation of component failures interacting in previously unexpected ways is inevitable.
