I agree. I think Phil's experience is not the norm. I've had them at
multiple sites, if the design is done correctly, there are no
problems with UPS's. To run a major data center or server farm
without UPS is insane. UPS's always make the situation better.

never seen a situation in which the presence of a UPS actually

much greater source of problems than the public electricity
supply. My definition (below) is
the honest result of years of experience.
And I HAVE actually seen a customer executive cry.
