Re: UPS sharing

That's only .333 KVA per server. That isn't much breathing room nor will it allow much time
per server.

You should have one 1.0 KVA UPS per server each with its own umbilical chord to its
respective server. The other option is a 3.0 KVA UPS using RS232 and get a UPS sharing
unit. This is what I did through various APC hardware and software.

This is NOT the place to be cheap.
