Many readers are familiar with the concepts of reliability and availability, but may have little understanding of how to quantify it. This white paper aims to explain the fundamentals of modelling
the probability of failure to a non-specialist audience, enabling a better understanding of the architectures used for their missioncritical systems.
To simplify the topic, this paper will take a very superficial look at a complex subject, so some of the underlying theory has been omitted or simplified, and some terms are loosely defined. The discussions are based on the properties of electrical and electronic devices, but the principles are generic and can be applied to other applications.
