Thread: That url to a UPS site reminded me of an ongoing issue that I would like some opinions / ideas from the thread on.

I am in charge of a medium sized facility (digital imaging) and haven't really settled on a strategy concerning UPS's and backup power. Right now it is more or less hit and miss, some workstations and servers have them and quite a few don't. I have about 6 Nt servers, 8 NT workstations, 10 macs (G3's down to Quadras) and many Win98 & 95 boxes. Quite a number of the machines are in a concentrated area, and because of this I have thought of buying one large UPS, maybe a 6 or 9 KVA that would run many of them. This seems easier than having a single standalone UPS for each and every server and workstation, especially after a few years when the batteries start to go.

How does anyone else do it? Any recommendations? Is it still best just to buy a UPS for every station?

Thanks
Dan
