Mean time between failures (MTBF) may be one of the more familiar terms seen in datasheets, yet there is still a widespread misunderstanding of the term and its application. Consequently, some ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Metastability is a phenomenon that can cause system failure in digital devices such as FPGAs, when a signal is transferred between circuitry in asynchronous clock domains. This article describes ...

“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.” ...
