Get real guys.

I had a PHB who didn't like that our web site went offline for 30 seconds each week.

I explained to her that the alternative would require $200,000 and six new employees.

She hasn't brought it up since.

Very few web sites are "mission critical." Even Facebook could go offline for a few seconds a week and nobody would care or notice.
