Combined availability

Assumes independence and ideal failover. Shared power, software, region and recovery dependencies can invalidate multiplication.

Formula

For a series system use A = ∏Aᵢ. For ideal parallel redundancy use A = 1−∏(1−Aᵢ). Each Aᵢ is an independent component availability as a fraction.

Combine independent component availabilities in series or parallel.

Scope and limitations

Assumes independence and ideal failover. Shared power, software, region and recovery dependencies can invalidate multiplication.

Inputs are checked for missing values and allowed ranges. A result outside the finite numeric range is not displayed. Rounding affects display, while the calculation uses the model’s numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before relying on a result. Changing a label does not convert a currency or physical unit.
