Abstract
In this chapter, the authors have studied the reliability characteristics of a home or office based computer system constructed with hardware connectivity. The system contains multi possible stages that can be repaired. The designed system is studied by using the Markov process, supplementary variable technique, Laplace transformation, and Gumbel–Hougaard family of copula to obtain the various reliability measures such as transition state probabilities, availability, reliability, cost analysis, and sensitivity.
