1st Edition

A practical, step-by-step guide
to designing world-class, high availability systems using both
classical and DFSS reliability techniques
Whether designing
telecom, aerospace, automotive, medical, financial, or public safety
systems, every engineer aims for the utmost reliability and availability
in the systems he, or she, designs. But between the dream of
world-class performance and reality falls the shadow of complexities
that can bedevil even the most rigorous design process. While there are
an array of robust predictive engineering tools, there has been no
single-source guide to understanding and using them . . . until now.
Offering
a case-based approach to designing, predicting, and deploying
world-class high-availability systems from the ground up, this book
brings together the best classical and DFSS reliability techniques.
Although it focuses on technical aspects, this guide considers the
business and market constraints that require that systems be designed
right the first time.
Written in plain English and following a step-by-step "cookbook" format, Designing High Availability Systems:
- Shows how to integrate an array of design/analysis tools, including Six Sigma, Failure Analysis, and Reliability Analysis
- Features
many real-life examples and case studies describing predictive design
methods, tradeoffs, risk priorities, "what-if" scenarios, and more
- Delivers numerous high-impact takeaways that you can apply to your current projects immediately
- Provides
access to MATLAB programs for simulating problem sets presented, along
with PowerPoint slides to assist in outlining the problem-solving
process
Designing High Availability Systems is an
indispensable working resource for system engineers, software/hardware
architects, and project teams working in all industries.
