This leads us to the old fact that several ISPs and hosting providers protect their servers with every network perimeter security resource (firewalls, IPSs, virus-and-spam-appliances etc) but forget that "availability" as a security principle requires adequate physical and utility safeguards also (backup site, automated failover, redundant communication links between sites and backbones, capable UPS, air-conditioning, fire-extinguishing...). Not all, as you see, are computer-related "per se", but they are "sine-qua-non" for 24x7 availability.
