Myth of the Nines Monthly Times

High availability is a characteristic of a system, which aims to ensure an agreed level of operational performance, usually uptime, for a higher-than-normal period. The nines is a measure of this availability, the ratio of uptime to the sum of uptime and downtime, typically expressed as a percentage, such as 99.95%.

The monthly downtime equals 1 minus the availability times one month.

Formula

QuantityVariable["MDT", "Time"] == Quantity[1, "Months"]*(1 - QuantityVariable["A", "Unitless"])

symbol description physical quantity
MDT monthly downtime "Time"
A availability "Unitless"
