Possible? Yes.
Likely? No.
Most NT system admins suck. Sorry guys, but it is true. It is a technology
that has been made available and easily accessable, many people (cooks,
waiters, wendy's employees) who are not truely System admins or even
computer geeks have found themselves working as system admins and doing
fairly well (by their bosses eyes). Now if you feel comfortable with your
system admin and your dba, then it is very possible. It is like anything
else, care must be taken during adminstration and upgrades must be done with
the utmost respect to the system.
The only true way to do 24x7 (which gives you about 8 hours/year downtime)
is to do a clustered environment, using fail safe, or having shared drive
array in cluster. There are many systems that provide fault tolerance for
NT, once cannot hope to obtain 24x7 environment without utter repetativeness
from the Oracle db to the high speedline coming into the building.
Depending on budget, some things because acceptable risks.

I have a treasury application that needs to be up 24 x 7 except for
scheduled downtime. Is there any way to guarantee an app will be available
24 x 7 on NT? Is anyone faced with this?
