Use of "and" more that once in a sentence
Is the below sentence correct? Does it make sense?
I use twice the word "and" .. also punctuation is correct?
The system's infrastructure shall be highly scalable, fault tolerant, and low cost, and the software systems used to build company's services, preferably be Open Source.

It seems like you are talking about two different things here. The system's infrastructure and the software. In that case, it is not a problem to have more than one "and"; however, you will need different punctuation and need to repeat a verb since you have a separate clause.
