I agree. It's more a problem for us and not the platform. I won't include it.

And I'll respond where appropriate... :)

This seems like a double standard since were not required to do this on the Intel servers. This drives the cost up.
Management problem. Nothing to do with platform.

Hardware RAID is available for Sun. Granted, hardware RAID cards are
more expensive on Sun than f.ex. adding a Compaq SmartRAID card to your
Compaq server. Nonetheless, the decision not to use them is a decision
made by management, engineers, etc, and again has nothing to do with the
platform.
