Another use of the RAS acronym in the context of computer systems is: Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability.

If someone claims that their computer system has a 99.9% availability, that's typically an attempt to quantify the net effect of their system's RAS features. Typical RAS features include things like RAID, clustering, hotpluggable components, and so on.

Ras (?), n.

See 2d Reis.
