With any system built to this scale, no single component should decide availability, only capacity. Unless the application is dependent on all components running all the time, which would be a very poor design strategy. Also, if specific workloads require a minimum capacity to run effectively, then you would model potential component failure rates and build that in to the total number (I.e., if 1 million is the minimum number and the yearly failure rate is 3%, then you would build to a spec of 1.03 million.)
