The two servers are on different power and UPS sources and have RS-422 interconnects to the Dual device servers that are very tightly tied together. While splitting the two systems into separate racks/rooms is possible, it's not practical.

IMHO, for such a critical system mounting both in the same rack is one of the dumbest things you can do. Am I wrong? Please explain.
