Hi Folks,
Recently, a storm happened and the power surge blew me
off-line. Time to get serious about buying a UPS that will
handle my four main servers for at-most, a 10-second power
outage. After that, shut down my computers. It took me 90
minutes of up and down and crawling around last time. That's
the *why*. Is there a best type to save me from this? Do any of
these power supplies come with scripts to shutdown a Unix {or
Linux} computer? Is there a UPS that is designed for heavy use
and a very short (5- to 10-second) uptime? I'll need one that can
interface thru the COM ports or the UBS port, if that is how
these devices work.
tia,
gary
