Igor: Others have outlined reasons individual systems likely will fail.
Were I to set the same goal, I'd look into redundant, also known as high-reliability or fault-tolerant, computing. With the "cloud" become the next big thing there are now expensive commercial products being pushed out the door by CISCO and others, but you can roll your own. I was going to say think RAID (which originally mean "redundant array of *inexpensive* disks") but a quick Google search just turned up a reference to RAID as "redundant arrays of independent 'data centers'" in an article about CISCO so I'm already a day late inventing my new marketing phrase.
