WHAT DOES UNAVAILABILITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Unavailability

Unavailability is the probability that an item will not operate correctly at a given time and under specified conditions. It opposes availability. Numerical values associated with the calculation of availability are often awkward, consisting of a series of 9s before reaching any significant numerical information. For this reason, it is more convenient to use the complement measure of availability, namely, unavailability. Expressed mathematically, unavailability is 1 minus the availability. Therefore, a system with availability 0.9999999654 is more concisely described as having an unavailability of 3.46E-8. Unavailability may be expressed mathematically as the ratio, U = MTTR/ where MTTR is the mean time to repair, and MTTF is the mean time to failure. Alternatively, this can be written as U = λ'/ where λ' is the critical failure rate and μ' is the critical repair rate. In telecommunication, an unavailability is an expression of the degree to which a system, subsystem, or equipment is not operable and not in a committable state at the start of a mission, when the mission is called for at an unknown, i.e. random, time.
