If you're e-commerce and rely on the kinds of up-time numbers that the post you are responding to references, that is generally the answer, yes (Well, not a full data-center for most guys, but at least your own platform which you know down to the motherboard jumper settings or whatever).
- jshen 14y agoI really don't understand. Knowing the hardware doesn't stop it from failing. There seems to be two approaches here. One, buy really expensive HA hardware. Two, build software that assumes failure and can handle it. Neither of these guarantee 100% uptime, but you can do the second one on a cloud without knowing the hardware. Side Note: I've done e-commerce, and e-commerce typically makes all of their money around christmas. It seems crazy to me to buy super expensive HA hardware that can handle your peak xmas throughput, and leave it idle for 11 months of the year.
