http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200212/thrd5.html#01973 The only option I believe you have is a cluster. Be it a cluster of seperate pieces of hardware or a "virtual" cluster within a large system such as S/390. You don't give any information on what kind of application you'll be running. Clearly software and hardware differences will be vastly different for hosting basic web pages compared to databases and applications. also closely evaluate if you really need 5 9s, that is 24 seconds of downtime per month. The management of a large customer(one of the biggest telcos in the U.S.) of my former employers thought they were smart and wanted to deploy my former company's product on a clustered E10000s load balanced by some $5000 cheap piece of shit load balancer to improve uptime.
