Probabilities work fine when you have a huge population of thousands of servers and a intelligent software layer taking care of redundancy. In a single rack setup, 1 dead server out of 3 is still 33% failure rate, right? I'm just saying the scales and budgets are different. If I didn't have the money to spend and I'd make sure my cooling meets the industry standards and that it has a better chance of NOT contributing to my hardware failing due to high temperatures. The last thing a small shop wants is to participate in laboratory experiments with Google.
