I see EC2 as a good piece of infrastructre to have as part of a failover plan. But should it be even 1/3 the providers for servers? No.

  Triply redundant hosting providers is really setting the bar high. Lot of 20/20 hindsight being put into play the last few days! In my experience, small companies typically have one hosting provider, off-site backups, and the probable but untested ability to bring up a fresh installation in a few hours. That's both common in the real world and good enough for most situations. It would get you through an outage like this.

    It's a medical device. It's not a imposition in that case.
