There was one point in my life when I was working for a large mainframe company ;) A bank wanted to move a system to a new site. The uptime on that system was 11 years. Uptime on a mainframe system is pretty much considered 100%
4 hours downtime a year is just way to much for some systems.
Just have a google for "mainframe uptime".
Yes the software is abstracted from the HW redundancy. You can pull CPUs with running code in systems and things keep working. Really - walk up and pull the CPU out. No impact to running code.

Heck you can run your private cloud on one:
