In considering methods to reduce the probability of equipment and transmission facility outages, the reader may want to examine the effect of different equipment configurations upon the ability of network users to access data if one or more devices should fail. Thus, what you need is a mechanism to denote the effect of different equipment configurations upon the ability to access network resources. That mechanism is known as availability and is the general topic to be covered in this article.
