Abstract
Nowadays, the data storage system is an integral part of our lives. Therefore, the main focus is in making this system reliable and accessible at all times. Reliability analysis of such systems provides insight into the components and topological parts of the system, in which a system is most vulnerable. Several approaches can be chosen to represent the system, one of the most used is known as the structure function. This approach allows us to represent a system of any complexity and also allows us to use the tools of logic algebra such as logic differential calculus. The aim of this work is to show the use of logic differential calculus and structure function for the calculation of the time-dependent importance measures for components in the time-dependent reliability analysis of the selected data storage system. After the computation of all importance measures, the problem areas of the data storage will be identified from a reliability point of view.
