Its all about uptime!

These are our worst foes
Deciding the level of importance of the system really depends on the physical environment. As we can see there are
- Power outage
- Internet access
- Hardware malfunction
- Software updates
To get around this a redundant system has to be built. Realizing that a redundant system consists of many redundant parts, virtualization naturally comes to mind.
