We are having a hard time finding dedicated 10gbs servers with ECC RAM. If folks out there have recommendations for datacenters that have 10gbs servers with ECC RAM, I'd love to hear them, so I can add them to my (unfortunately short) list.
Since we cannot do large RAM surveys (we're a small company), we rely on multiple papers from ~2010 (including by your employer :) that detail the failure patterns and frequency of bit errors in RAM modules.

Based on the rates observed, it was very clear that the extra cost of ECC RAM more than pays for itself, since fault-tolerant software in the face of random bit errors is very CPU-intensive, and honestly I'm not sure it can even be done in all cases.

Sure. It just seemed like a curious thing to ask for explicitly. I thought there might have been some rationale behind it in terms of application needs.
