Good morning! In addition to what Peter Chan says, you can go a step further and implement 2 separate web servers (both with Cognos installed and configured with server farms). In the network layer you would add a load balancer (ex: an F5 switch) in front of those 2 gateways, round robin-ing requests to both. When one gateway goes down, your load balancer would route all traffic to the functioning gateway until the other came back online.
As part of this setup you'd give the users a web address to access the load balancer (mycognos.company.com or similar) rather than the address of one or the other of your gateway servers.

Subject: High Available web IIS server/gateway in 11.1
I can't seem to find much information specifically around making the Web server/gateway running IIS highly available. Is the feature built into Cognos Analytics 11.1 or do you have to use MS Cluster or a load balancer in front .. ? Anyone have any thoughts or know where documentation would be ? Thanks
