Given infinite amounts of money I'd agree with James on multiple power
sources.
Having both power supplies plugged into the same power strip that
accidentally gets tripped doesn't help.
Having both power supplies plugged into the same circuit breaker that
accidentally gets tripped doesn't help.
Having both power supplies plugged into the same UPS when the person
accidentally moves it to off instead of bypass when performing maintenance
doesn't help.

I've suffered through all of these, and more like situations.
