[ale] Desktop UPS

[Dow Hurst]

One nice solution is the Tripplite SMART2200 Tower.  Has six outlets on back 
and is around $700.  You can run 5 desktops off of that if they are reasonably 
close to one another.  Tripplite also has software for shutdown over a network 
or directly with serial cables.  The UPS comes with 1 smart port and two dumb 
ports.  I've used the server client shutdown functions with success in a SGI 
lab situation.  The clients get told to shutdown before the server over the 
network.

I like APC for solid quality construction and a variety of products to choose 
from.  I like Tripplite for the price and reliability for the top end stuff. 
I have a CyberPower 1500 from Bestbuy at home that has been superb.
