redundant PSU

I just got an ad in my news@iceteks.com email as they probably would like me to review their products (most power equipment) and it showed a redundant PSU unit which seems to be hot swapable type. The question just hit me, what is the point of having this? Even for a mission critical application, like how often does a PSU die on you? You'll probably clean install Red hat more often then replace a PSU! It looks cool though, but I'm just wondering why would anyone need it. It's a plus, of course, but I'm sure it's obviously much more expensive then just buying a normal top end PSU.
