Availability Analysis of the System with or without Spare

Vikas Shinde

Abstract

The availability of spare parts is an important factor which can increase the performance and effectiveness of the system. And, thus availability of the system with or without provision spares is discussed in this paper. For this purpose, a Markov model is developed for a computer system considering software and hardware failure issues. The numerical results are carried out to highlight the effects of software failure rate in different dimensions having variation in other parameters of the system.
