No, no. I have worked with machines (5ess) that continuously monitor and 
test themselves, writing diagnostics, and dynamically substituting a 
a faulty module with another till the technician can replace it. Even the 
cpu or memory. Once we replaced the equivalent of the motherboard "live". 
The average downtime is measured in seconds per year.

Of course, the price tag is tremendous.
