As assigned based on the scenario in the class, you are to perform the
followings steps:
Step 1: All the system above is assumed to be running continuous 24 x 7 due to the
criticality of the system.
Step 2: Identify based on the noted the requirement of the current available system
in the market, suggest on how the system could be improved.
Step 3: Identify if there is any high-level or low level redundancy, standby system or
m-out-of-n reducdancy.
Step 4: Find a real life problem, and identify how the calculation could be made for
Parallel System/Series System/Series-Parallel System
Step 5: Prepare a report on all the above finding, NO MORE THAN 20 PAGES
LONG.
