And multiple power supplies. I have been running a single physical server like this for ~10 years and the only downtimes were me restarting to boot a new kernel and when people at datacenter messed up BGP routing (their fault). HW is really very reliable now, especially in datacenter environment. But still not 100% of course. There is still low, but more lower than most think, probability of it failing. IC chips most likely won't break, only some capacitors degrade over time and flash memories with bios normally guarantee only 10 years. Bios upgrade (new write) would prolong that, though. I had one disk fail in RAID. Changed the drive without any downtime. |
