Exercise Availability

The document discusses calculating system availability for a trader's online order platform. It first considers availability of the application, computer, and network individually. It then examines how availability improves by adding a second computer or creating an entirely separate and redundant system.

EXERCISE 1:

 A trader places orders online using a specialized application available at 99.9%. It is installed
on a regularly updated computer (the daily update lasts 5 minutes) during the 8 hours it is
running during the day. The service provider is available 99.5% of the time.

 The total system availability is:

 Application available x Computer available x Network available (ISP)

 Computer availability = 1 – 5/(8*60) = 1 – 0.0104 = 0.9896 therefore 98.96%

 Total availability = 0.999*0.99.5*0.9896 = 0.9836 therefore 98.36%

EXERCISE 2 :

 We correct this by taking a second computer (it has the lowest availability and we can act on
it)

 By doubling the computer, we work on the unavailability of the system consisting of two
computers. One replaces the other.

 Computer unavailability = 0.0104 therefore 1.04%

 Problem only if one or the other is unavailable:

 Unavailability of both = 0.0104*0.0104 = 0.0001 therefore 0.01%

 The system composed of two computers is available at 1 – 0.0001 = 0.9999 therefore


99.99%

 The overall system availability becomes (with the system of both computers)

 0.999*0.995*0.9999 = 0.9939 therefore 99.39%


EXERCISE 3 :

 Finally, it was decided to take a second complete working environment another computer
with another application and accessing the stock market through another internet service
provider

 There is only a problem if both systems are down simultaneously.

 Availability of a system: 0.9836 therefore 98.36%

 Unavailability of a system: 1 – 0.9836 = 0.0164 therefore 1.64%

 Unavailability of both work environments

 = 0.0164*0.0164 = 0.0003 therefore 0.03%

 Overall availability = 1 – 0.0003 = 0.9997 therefore 99.97%

 Availability in days = 0.9997*365 = 364.89 days
