“…Note that none of the previous works, shown in Table 1, considered together the reduction in candidate design numbers, construction of dependability and business models, presentation of metrics that relate technical and business aspects and the integration of different infrastructures. This research extends from our preliminary works 8,20,21 . In particular, it improves references 20,21 by proposing analytical models together with a methodology, allowing the comparison of different architectures that consider the integration of communication and power infrastructures.…”

“…As can be seen, A 1 , A 2 and A 3 have 18, 21, and 22 components. Assuming that for each component of these architectures, there are three options to choose from, it would be necessary to build and evaluate 3 18 , 3 21 , and 3 22 different scenarios to select the best component combination for A 1 , A 2 and A 3 , respectively.…”

Summary Nowadays, computer networks are critical to the success of small and large businesses. They connect people, support applications and services, and provide access to the resources that keep the businesses running. Our work proposes analytical models and a methodology for supporting the optimization of the network infrastructure design, considering both technical and business oriented metrics, such as availability, reliability, and total cost. The integration of communication and power infrastructures is supported by this methodology. The dependability (availability/reliability) models were created using the Reliability Block Diagram and Stochastic Petri Net modeling mechanisms following a hierarchical approach. A case study considering the design of a real‐world network infrastructure is presented to illustrate the proposed methodology. The results showed a significant reduction in the design complexity as well as an improvement in the relationship between technical and business aspects.
