Practical System Reliability Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book gives a great overview of the techniques, terminology, and approaches to building reliable systems and products. The techniques given there come from a long line and heritage in the telephony world for building real and highly-reliable systems. The strength of this book is that it explains the process that needs to be followed, as well as includes enough details of the major techniques and models so that you can determine which ones will apply to your project. This book pairs nicely with "Design for Reliability" Design for Reliability: Information and Computer-Based Systems which focuses more on building computer-based systems and IT systems. This book covers the overall problem and techniques without burying the reader in the details or mathematics of any particular technique, while still given enough details to understand the value and use of that technique.

Learn how to model, predict, and manage system reliability/availability throughout the development life cycle
Written by a panel of authors with a wealth of industry experience, the methods and concepts presented here give readers a solid understanding of modeling and managing system and software availability and reliability through the development of real applications and products. The modeling and prediction techniques and tools are customer-focused and data-driven, and are also aligned with industry standards (Telcordia, TL 9000, ISO, etc.). Readers will get a clear understanding about what real-world reliability and availability mean through step-by-step discussions of:
System availability
Conceptual model of reliability and availability
Why availability varies between customers
Modeling availability
Estimating parameters and availability from field data
Estimating input parameters from laboratory data
Estimating input parameters in the architecture/design stage
Prediction accuracy
Connecting the dots

This book can be used by system architects, engineers, and developers to better understand and manage the reliability/availability of their products; quality engineers to grasp how software and hardware quality relate to system availability; and engineering students as part of a short course on system availability and software reliability.
