You can do a battery backup unit, like suggested by Sean H. However to answer your question, APC makes a whole line of Voltage Regulators, which are the product to fix this type of issue. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313_nkw=apc+voltage+regulators_sacat=0

Faisal do you use these. I have tried them in the past and when they are working to handle enough clean power for a whole tower they seem to get really hot. I also do not recommend running them off a poor generator to get cleaner power. The one I had melted after 2 hours. Steven Barnes GM

We found when using Tripplite UPS the battery would eventually go dead. The UPS would use battery power to boost the voltage, but remain on battery for a period of time (about a minute) to ensure the voltage would be stable. About the time it switched back we would get another drop. It never

Doing this is more of an method than a product. If you have dual power supply server, then you can plug one psu on battery backup, and the other on ac main... monitor the status of PSU via snmp... is one example If you are using Mikrotik routers, you can use the dual power feature on them

You can also use an Online UPS instead of the more traditional type. Online means the UPS is running the load off of the battery at all times. The AC charger is supplying enough power to power your load as well as keep the battery charged. They're designed to provide a stable output when the
