> From my point of view, outages are caused by:
> 1) operator
> 2) software defect
> 3) hardware defect

>From my experience now days the likelihood of an outage as a result of 3) is

In other words the vast majority of the outages are caused by human error. 
One way to partially rule out 1) is to have a fully customized stupid proof
provisioning system - customized by those who know how stuff works.
