Honest question, would a normal battery be able to keep a decent server running through a 5 minute outage? I was under the impression that google adds something like 9v's to last a few seconds through a flicker, not any sustained outage.
(And all of that's assuming your network stack stays up, and things like routers/firewalls survive...)
- jrockway 17y agoThe idea is not to be reachable during the outage, it's to avoid filesystem corruption, not lose data in memcached, etc. These things are recoverable, of course, but if you can avoid them for the cost of a $2 battery... then why not?
