because of NetApp's lack of redundancy (in the drives) and lack of fault-tolerance in hardware

i don't know nearly as much as ds does, but in his absence (?) here's my understanding of things:

netapp filers are not only redundancy enabled, but are also hot swappable and remotely diagnosable. meaning that if a disk goes bad, the filer switches to a good disk, then sends an email to the site's netapp service rep, who comes over and swaps the bad disk with another good disk. meanwhile, no interruption of service, no downtime, no sysadmins, no headaches.
