Default Sun V20z opteron server - single point of failure?

Greetings all,

My local sun rep quoted me two of these servers recently, but was concerned
about the non-redundant power supply. Does this strike anyone as a single
point of failure? What risks would there be in using this in an enterprise
datacenter? Could they be mitigated?

We typically plug a dual power supply system into two electric circuits. We
could plug each server into different circuits, but is that mitigating risk
or sticking my head in the sand?

Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

James
