Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle 24x7 shops and Patches-Upgrades.
Couldn't have said better.
Actually there is another choice. Redefine 24x7. Get creative and show
planned downtime as part of available time and include downtime as only
unplanned downtime.

The moral is: if you want 24X7 and five nines reliability, you need redundant hardware and network. No exceptions.
