you could do like I did with our first VM host with several vms mirror
it on a blade server. I can take down a drive so long as I have blade
up server keeps going while we do maint on host.
very kewl stuff

You can get used off lease servers for pennies on the dollar. You can
get a 2 socket 12 core 24 thread Xeon machine with 128 Gb of ram and
SAS drives for under $800 CDN. All from NOC environments so if you
put them back into a good environment they will run for years.
Don't bother with blades. You won't need that until you get really
big. Go Dell, HP or Supermicro. I've used them all for many years.
They are built well and last long. Supermicro is the cheapest by far
but surprisingly well built and supported.

I need to put in some servers. I want to go durable. Last a long time.
Thinking blade servers.
Email, DNS etc, Perhaps in the future DHCP. Other things an ISP uses.
Suggestions? I like the idea of hot swap etc. I realize VM and Hyper
V, all kinds of virtualization makes life easy.
But irrespective, I want bare metal reliability.
Then perhaps NAS/SAN on top of it.
