Batteries are there until the Diesel Generators can kick in... Also, few municipalities will let you have enough Diesel generators to actually handle a Data Center because they are so loud... All you can really do is get power diversity if possible, and try to protect against transient power outages.
Imho, in the case of a wide area power outage like this your generators are very nice, because it protect your servers for a hardware damage and... you have light to play Cards until the network up again ;) Happy christmas Gerd _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
