Depends on the demands of the company. I could see a tower chassis easily being a backup gateway server that's on a rack. The backup server is almost never running so, you don't want to take up rack space but, on the same token, you want to have something in case something happens to the real thing.

They dont use full towers for backups anymore, most Home -"stuff" use NAS/cloud units (they've come down in price a lot ).

what server towers are these that don't already support redundant psu's? HP tower redundant, Dell tower redundant, supermicro build it yourself? redundant.

This seems like a product for a standard atx desktop or workstation. Mission critical either of those aren't.

Or its for cheap as cheap can be companies who think they don't need to pay for server hardware to get server performance and reliability

something like that.

Im not so sure, as mentioned before what's the point of this then? Everything already comes with redundancy provided.

Sorry, couldn't resist, but that is Google :)

They've been using mostly regular computers with some modifications for years, however they have so many that there is no issue if one fails. They don't have mainframe or super computers.

I've been looking at Open Compute Project's designs and really like what they've done. I could have sworn I saw them include a small battery for each server to help keep the server up for small outages (and probably keep ripple down too).
