I was referring to the "maintenance outages" that often last for 24 hours or 
more.

That won't be possible since you would have to use the Internet to connect to 
IBM. The Internet is a global, public network that simply does not meet your 
demanding service level requirement.

Fortunately, IBM provides an excellent solution for your requirement: the IBM 
Knowledge Center for z/OS, included at no additional charge with z/OS.
This solution does not require having any Internet connections at all because 
it runs on your own z/OS machine(s). (Unless you must use the Internet to 
connect to your own machine, but then that wouldn't be an IBM-imposed 
requirement.) More information is available here:
