Now, I've looked at your Mirroring solution, and while it will minimise certain issue, hardware failure, OS failure ect, but (I'm making a presumption here) as both servers, master and slave will be located in the same DC, is it possible to proclaim 100%, as to do that, wouldn't it need to be in two seperate datacentres, as faults in the Datacentre, either outside routers, inside Network will effect both servers?

Not having a go, at the solutions, as it is something I am interested in, but just questioning the 100% statistic.

Plus have you any statistics on the uptime of said system available?


Cheers
Real time data synchronization on public network is quite complicated and you can never swap IPs of servers if both servers are located in different datacenters. If IP f your website hosting is to change then that involves DNS propagation time which means downtime

Both, master as well as slave server are hosted in 2 different Racks and we have 100% Network uptime and uninterrupted power supply for our servers so downtime is limited to Rack related problems only. It is possible that one Rack may face problem, but its rare to see problems with 2 Racks at a time. We've done good research so far and there's no other way to achieve 100% uptime guarantee
