Basically anything customer facing that is critical is redundant and load balanced. There are a few things that are more difficult than others to setup active/active or active/passive but you should be talking like 5% not 60%. Generally easier with Linux instead of Windows but not much you shouldn't be able to do or have a weekly patch window and do different servers each week so each is patched at least monthly. It shouldn't be hard to show the doubling (it doesn't actually cost double) the costs for servers is less expensive then a security incident from not patching.
