62 What is Reliability? Reliability = measure of continuous service accomplishment (or time to failure) Metrics Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) measures reliability Failures In Time (FIT) = 1/MTTF, the rate of failures Traditionally reported as failures per 10 9 hours of operation Ex. MTTF = 1,000,000 hours FIT = 10 9 /10 6 = 1000 Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) measures Service Interruption Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) = MTTF+MTTR
