Re: "They all suck!" Re: UPS failure modes (was: fire at NAC)

Too bad a substantial amount of equipment doesn't allow for
redundant plugins.  The ability to plug { servers | routers |
whatever } into two totally separate power feeds is nice.

Anyone for building a rackmount transfer switch for two inputs?
Assuming it didn't fail (!) -- would the economies of scale work
for or against it compared to big transfer switches?  Between
dealing with _much_ smaller current levels and the opportunity
for mass production, what are the chances of something like this
working?




I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but:

List price is between $359 and $559, depending on if you want network
management and how many outputs.
