On the Internet, speed is king. Slow download pages turn your users off. You get better return from your advertising investment when your pages download fast.
Our Data center has spare servers on-line of all CPU configurations. If a server were to experience a hardware failure, they would turn a key, grab the handle on the drive, pull it out, and inser it into an identical standby CPU. We would then reboot the second machine and the server would be up and running again in a matter of minutes. Data cleansing (USPS Address Correction and USPS FastForwarding)
