Fault free datacenters include neither people, nor computers, nor connectivity, nor HVAC, nor electricity. If you can eliminate those things you will have a 100% uptime datacenter. Andrew
Is this the network equivalent of Yin and Yang, or Darkness and Light being the same? Perhaps it is like an old joke: "How many Microsoft programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?" "None, they just make darkness the new standard." I guess, if uptime is a measure of your promised availability, then if you promise total unavailability, your uptime is 100% if no-one can reach you during the measured period. Not terribly useful, however, and likely to get breached, when those with means want to find out what you're hiding.
