In summary, if the customer’s business specializes in finance, military application, automotive, healthcare or datacenters and the server crashes while processing a transaction due to a memory failure, the transaction would be lost. Memory failures could also lead to data transcription errors, where a number is changed or a decimal is misplaced. In this scenario, the customer may not even know the error has occurred. It could be days or weeks before that transaction is next reviewed. Even then it still might not get caught by whoever is reviewing it. In such situations, and/or harsh environment applications, high reliability modules have an added benefit. Extra features and benefits of Hi-Reliability products improve the Total Cost of Ownership. Added features and the process steps required to manufacture Hi-Reliability modules involve extra cost and can be a little more expensive than commercially available modules. However, customers should not view this extra cost as an expense. It should be seen as an investment for long life cycle of modules in the field. Replacement of modules due to short life cycles or failures is more costly than initial investment in Hi-Reliability modules. Over time this investment will pay off when customers see longer life cycles and no failures in the field.
