I think it would take several miracles to keep a single system running for 17 years with no down time!!

With a cluster and lots of money for things like emergency generators, dual redundant or N+1 redundant power supplies, dual redundant UPSs, two or more air conditioners (each rated for the full load), etc, etc, it ain't easy but it can be done!
