I’m curious, does a 3 minutes power down to replace a RAM stick is that much of a deal in enterprise server that they need to invented a whole new technology just for that?
First of all, yeah. In enterprise, 1000 transactions per second can be a requirement. Second, enterprise servers take longer to spool up than 3 minutes.

The coveted 5 9s of availability is only 5.26 minutes of downtime
5.26 minutes per year*
Yes. Server boot times are long. Enterprise level NICs and hard drive controllers do a lot of checking at startup.
Historically, there were Sun servers that could hot swap CPUs. X86 can’t do that, though.

Depending on your SLA, 3 minutes can be a pretty big chunk of your monthly error budget.
Have you ever power cycled a server? It can take over 10 minutes depending on the machine.
