I think you hit the nail on the head

You're looking into deep investments, with out the real prospects for the business needed to sustain it. I would also research what the likely market it. From my experience with smaller companies, I think you will find very few who are willing to pay the money to really have the up time.
Also, with out hitting 99.999% what's the point? How many single points of failure are you going to have?
1) The single load balancer
2) The single switch
3) Router?
4) Firewall?
5) Internet connection?
6) Power?
What is your response time if a system goes down? Minutes? Hours? What about backups? Off site backup?
With out some form of a guarantee why would anyone go with you? With a guarantee, could you actually afford the equipment to be able to meet that guarantee? How much would your target market be willing to pay? Who is your target market? How will you get them to know about you? How long can you afford to operate in the red?
Then there is the question about security too. But that's just another complete ball of wax. |
