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?
APC makes GREAT UPS's and have good support. I once blew out an APC by
miswiring a switch on a computer (don't ask). I called tech support,
they agreed that what I told them had happened shouldn't have happened,
and shipped me a new UPS for free, without any hassle. From that point
on, I swore I'd go APC first.
Do any of
these power supplies come with scripts to shutdown a Unix {or
Linux} computer?
Not that I know of...there's daemons you can install for that purpose,
though.
Is there a UPS that is designed for heavy use
and a very short (5- to 10-second) uptime?
Generally you need to add up your power requirements and match the load
to the UPS's power rating.
I'll need one that can
interface thru the COM ports or the UBS port, if that is how
these devices work.
Today it's common to have a USB interface.
