When Does Fast Recovery Trump High Reliability?

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

this paper, we argue that for interactive Internet applications, a decrease in MTTR is sometimes more valuable than the corresponding increase in MTTF to improve Availability by the same amount, and we make a case for adopting MTTR as the primary metric for reasoning about system availability and focusing designs on fast recovery
