PDU/UPS feedback needed!

Mielin · #1 08-16-2006, 04:19 AM

Hello,
I wana buy a PDU/UPS for our rack i.e. like the APS 750VA UPS & Serial Smart UPS, of course with the UPS Network Management Card!
We use Debian Linux and I was pretty psyched to see that there is a package for APC management. I'd like to trigger an email if there is a blip with the power. Plz give your opinions about this hardware setup, or can suggest an alternative? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

hello,
I doubt whether 750VA is sufficient for more than 2-3 servers or not. the switches and network infrastructure is all going to be connected to the datacentre's power infrastructure, so if anything does go down, your servers will be up but the network will be unavailable anyway. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
