Yeah, reducing down-time isn't usually too bad, but /zero/ down-time 
requires going to absurd lengths. We're talking about backup power 
generators, multiple telecom providers, multiple physical locations, 
continuous data replication, multiple redundant systems... it gets 
expensive rapidly. As with any buying decision, you need to look at the 
cost of down-time verses the cost of preventing it.
