Modeling vs. Reality

• Previous model seems too pessimistic
  • MTTF could be longer
    • Single node MTTF of 300 days -> 432 sec cluster MTTF
      • Some machine fails every 7 hours
      • Much more believable
  • Model could be wrong
• Assuming because memoryless process we can scale from days to seconds is probably an invalid assumption
