Currently using Natural Gas generators for POP sites, and at 15k a pop for sufficiently oversized ones (UPS power signal problem) not to mention the air code requirements and so forth... always looking for more POP site/small data room friendly solutions.

(like companies offering products for sale now?) Several products are supposed to be available now, or "soon" but the sites making those claims don't seem to have been recently updated. This technology seems perfect for applications where a generator isn't practical, moving machines to colo facilities is not desireable, but multi-hour/day backup power is required. But only if someone can bring it to market in a way small/mid size businesses can cost-justify... -=Jim=- Addy & Associates Inc.
