Per-Rack UPS is not allowed in our local Flexential DC. Reason being is that in case of a fire, the whole room needs to go dark on power for fire control. We do have two redundant AC circuits on two different breakers. But our DC was from a company that got bought out by Flexential so maybe, hopefully, its setup different.
- iJohnDoe 3y agoIt’s a good idea not to have per rack UPS in a colo. Customers are really bad at maintaining equipment Making sure customers replace batteries every five years might be difficult. Also, in my opinion, all UPS manufactures make horrible UPS equipment. There can be so many different types of failures or problems or glitches. You don’t want a UPS leaking or exploding. Also, there are laws in some states that only allow so many pounds of batteries in a building.
