Coldfusion server that NEVER goes down... is that possible?

Well, I think so. and I'll tell ya why.
But first, did you know that there were choices in the Coldfusion 8 Server Monitoring portion of the administrator to setup alerts?

Did you know that there were alerts that you could setup to let you know that your server was going into an "Unresponsive" state... and that while it was going to alert you, it would also start the task of killing hung threads all the while preventing new requests from bogging the server down once it gets back on it's feet?

Did you know that you could also watch the memory that is being used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and if it gets to be too large you can have it do all of the above, plus spurn some garbage collection to boot?!

But that's not it, it gets better :)

You can also, detect that your server is "running slow" ie, too many requests taking too long, and do the all of the above, OOooh and I forgot you can email yourself too, heck you could even setup an sms gateway and send sms messages out to alert you, your team, even maybe the president on his blackberry :)

Anyway, i'd get into more of this here, but Charlie Arehart did a great job of explaining not only this but the entire "ColdFusion 8 server monitoring" series on Adobe.com's Developer Connection in the ColdFusion Developer Center.

Definitely check it out, I hadn't heard of this until tonight and that was a result of needing just the things this amazing feature offers! And with the aforementioned, I believe it would be possible to have a server that never goes down... right?
