What is System and Network Administration for Higher Reliability (Short Topics in System Administration, #7) about?

If we're going to have any chance of ending up with reliable systems, we must first define what we mean by reliability. Let's try this A reliable system is one that is configured and maintained to provide the appropriate levels of Redundancy, Repeatability, and Repairability, in order to provide an appropriate level of support for the services that the system is intended to provide. The point is that systems administration and configuration, like many other things, is a constant series of trade-offs and compromises, and each decision has to be made based on the needs of a particular organization for a particular service. This book is primarily about "higher reliability" rather than "high reliability." The emphasis is on the incremental steps that can be taken to improve reliability in your systems, rather than on building 100% uptime, absolutely no-failure, no-compromise systems. You will need to examine the services required or provided by your organization, and the nature of the organization itself, in order to identify where you may need to consider increased reliability.
