all
Other Answer:
Answer key / Comments : 1.The reliability, availability, and serviceability (or "RAS") of a computer system have always been important factors in data processing. When we say that a particular computer system "exhibits RAS characteristics," we mean that its design places a high priority on the system remaining in service at all times. Ideally, RAS is a central design feature of all aspects of a computer system, including the applications. RAS has become accepted as a collective term for many characteristics of hardware and software that are prized by mainframe users. The terms are defined as follows: Reliability: The system's hardware components have extensive self-checking and self-recovery capabilities. The system's software reliability is a result of extensive testing and the ability to make quick updates for detected problems. Availability: The system can recover from a failed component without impacting the rest of the running system. This term applies to hardware recovery (the automatic replacing of failed elements with spares) and software recovery (the layers of error recovery that are provided by the operating system). Serviceability: The system can determine why a failure occurred. This capability allows for the replacement of hardware and software elements while impacting as little of the operational system as possible. This term also implies well-defined units of replacement, either hardware or software.
