This is Marcel Gagné's third book with Addison-Wesley following, Linux System Administration: A User's Guide and Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!. Marcel is also the well-respected author of Linux Journal's, Cooking with Linux. The author has written this excellent book with near-perfect timing.

Just to quote your unsourced reference, "Unisys found that, in a stand-alone configuration, over the course of two years, the ES7000s running Datacenter Edition provided an average of 99.9% system availability in a stand-alone configuration. That's with no high-availability clustering."
Wow, Datacenter Edition running in stand-alone configuration without high availability...
Oh, and this is even better from the same source, "Microsoft co-sponsored the reliability study initially".
That is rich. Not that Unisys would ever report anything but the truth about Microsoft, in the first place....

Let me suggest that you read the book before making more erroneous conclusions - the entire book is devoted to discussing numerous business software applications.
