MTBF is a statistical measure, and as such, it can’t predict anything for a single unit. We can use that MTBF rating more accurately, however, to calculate that if we have 1,000 such drives operating ...

Two common asset management metrics whose relevance has grown in importance even as new analytic technologies such as predictive maintenance have emerged are “mean time to repair” (MTTR) and “mean ...

In this episode, we explore Meantime to Repair (MTTR) and Meantime Before/Between Failure (MTBF) to better understand how these metrics are applied and calculated and how they can benefit ...

Data sheets for hard drives have always included a specification for reliability expressed in hours: commonly known as MTBF (mean time between failures), or sometimes the mean time to failure. Same ...

“The MTBF and MTTR of broadband connections are too high, so even if they are lower cost and higher bandwidth, I can’t afford to use them.” “MPLS provides me with SLAs; Internet connections don’t.” ...
