Based on when I was at Bay, 2 days of unscheduled downtime for my NT server
there would have been unbelievable. Heck, we had trouble at times keeping the
thing up for even a day at times. With that record, I could easily afford
%99.5 uptime, heck, I would've settled for %80 uptime :)

Yeah, since you're using Linux, things will stay up longer than NT.
Since it's clustered, things should stay up longer than if it weren't :)
Just kidding. I don't know any stats, I just put the stuff together and play
with it :) Jeff or other sales folks can probably provide all that
information, which of course probably depends upon the applications you want
clustered, and the reliability of the hardware you use.
There's probably also some of this information on our website as well, so I
would check there. If you don't find what you want, and are really
interested, let either Jeff or myself know, and we'll get you this
information.
