Or in far fewer words, a whole lot of problems become easier when 
available funding approaches unlimited.

Adding "nines" onto the uptime requirements is definitely in this 
potentially-exponential budget category.

One hour and nineteen minutes is inside 99.95% uptime.

Adding instances of SAP or of OpenVMS into a solution does increase the 
costs of the solution, too; they're not inexpensive products to start 
with.  Add clustering, data links, HBVS and other features, as well as 
the application work and the expertise needed for DT DCs, and the 
budget climbs further.
