[Nut-upsuser] Recommended UPS brand (OffTopic sort of)

[Doug Parsons]

Kjell,

I saw those as well but need the online model as I have had some issues with 
offline models and rapid power cycles. When you have an automatic transfer 
switch between two ups units and your equipment, the rapid cycles can cause 
you to loose power or in my case corrupt the power to the point my router 
locked up. I have several ESX servers and the more critical units need to 
have clean power on at least one power supply. Just a little bit of 
insurance there. I also have some SAN storage that needs the online unit.

One other catch is that I am limited to a 120V 20 Amp feed to the units and 
want to maximize it. The 2200 does this. If I go any bigger I need a 30 amp 
circuit and any smaller waste capacity on that circuit.

Thanks for the input.

Doug
