I know many can't afford that level of Fault Tollerance, but you'd be surprised how inexpensive on-site spares are compared to the cost of 4 hour support over time.
We have a lot of similar high availability tech, unfortunately we have so much different hardware we couldn't really keep spares for everything . Especially on these boxes that are so old.
