:A company has three components in a system and requires all three to be operational from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Scenario:

A company has three components in a system and requires all three to be operational from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours, Monday to Friday. Failure of component 2 occurs as follows:

• Monday = 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Tuesday = No failure
• Wednesday = 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Thursday = 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
• Friday = 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Directions: Using the scenario above, respond to the items below.

• Calculate the availability of component 2.
• Show your steps of how you calculated the availability. Steps:
  1. Availability (%) = system uptime / (system uptime + system downtime)                  Total Uptime = (Number of Days Required Operational x Hours per Day Available) – Number of Hours Not Available        
  2. 2. What does this measurement tell you about Information Availability compared to the measurement you calculated in Assignment 1? (see attached file)
