If this is your problem, imho your best bet is to use a separate
machine. After all, this is your telephony system in a busy company. ;-)

Furthermore, if 99,99 % is what you want to achieve, you better look for
linux on iSeries (there is a telephony solution available, indeed!) and
a good high availability concept on top of it.
According to

you are planning for a downtime of 52minutes per year. ;-);-).
