Chapter 2. The Basic Mathematics of High Availability
Calculating availability requires mathematics. As the depth of availability research increases, the mathematical equations get more complex. This book makes it possible for people unfamiliar with calculus to perform network availability analysis. This chapter is designed to introduce you to the equations we will be using in this book.
The equations in this book are as simple as possible, while still maintaining accuracy. Some more advanced availability experts might say that I have taken a few liberties that could make the results slightly skewed. However, I believe that the equations presented in this chapter will provide perfectly adequate results for comparing network versus network availability ...
