We present a brief introduction to three reliability engineering techniques: failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis, reliability block diagrams, and fault tree analysis. We demonstrate the use of one of these techniques, reliability block diagrams, in evaluating the availability of information technology (IT) systems through a case study involving an IT system supported by a three-tier Web-server configuration.
