Hi all,
Does anyone know if a template exists for what it takes to provide 5 9's of
availability, 4 9's etc.for Internet data centers?  Specifically I'm looking
for something that would say "if you want 5 9's of availability, here's what
you need to do", and so on.

For 5 9s you need:

1) Lots of money
2) Lots of clue
3) Lots of luck
4) Lots of balls

You can do 4 9s with any 3 of the above.
