That can be done on Windows/Linux systems using virtualization technologies 
like VMWare and HyperV live migration. Coupled with fail-over clustering you 
can build reasonably robust systems. The monitoring infrastructure is excellent.
Our distributed sysadmin was showing my HyperV and I was very impressed.
It's not as good as
a full parallel sysplex but good enough for a lot of companies WRT SLAs.
