Abstract
In this study the comparative analysis of various reliability measures of a computer system is carried out under the concepts of maximum repair time, maximum operation time, and priority. An immediate repair facility is provided to the system. The system consists of two identical unit one in operative mode and other in cold standby mode. For the derivation of various reliability measures, two stochastic models are developed hereby using the concept of priority. Priority to preventive maintenance over h/w repair in Model II whereas no priority is given in Model I. The failure time distribution of the s/w and h/w follows exponential while other random variables are taken as arbitrary. Graphs are drawn with respect to preventive maintenance to analyze the mean time to system failure and profit function of both models comparatively.
