No. Your company made several design faults when they designed the
infrastructure.

First: Important servers should have redundant power supply units and
each of these units should be plugged into a seperate power rail, with
each power rail supported by different UPSes.

Second: Use a seperate power rail for servers, network equipment and
"accessoires" like screens, external modems and temperature sensors.

This is not IBMs fault. It's just misdesigned infrastructure.
