You are making some erroneous assumptions. RAID in any form does not
replicate the server hardware and octopus is capable of such things as
complete replication of an exchange server etc...
I suggest you go to http://www.octopustech.com/ and check it out before you
say much else on the topic. Retail is $1499 per server btw.
The VINCA solution is also excellent, and has it's place. You are missing
the value these type of products offer over simply providing RAID.
