I had a couple of really cheap (under $40) CyberPower UPS's that ended up causing more outages than they protected against. I've had good luck with APC, but keep in mind that the batteries have a finite lifespan. On SmartUPS and BackUPS Pro models, you'll get a warning that the battery needs replacing, but on regular BackUPS models the first hint you get that the battery is bad is when the power goes out and the UPS doesn't work. This is sometimes okay for workstation use, but I'd hesitate to put one of those on a server. I find that the batteries in our APC UPS's generally last four to five years for stand-alone units, three years for rack-mount ones. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
