I worked for a company that believed that, for a while.

They bought a hugely expensive SAN solution (HP I think). One of my questions was: What happens when the SAN fails? Well you see, because it has redundancy, that can't happen. Clever uh?.

First time it failed, everything gridded to a halt for two days. The second time they did better and had it running within eight hours.
