Re: UPS recommendation(s)

LONG time user of Tripp UPS data center products. The only thing that 
seems to stop them is spraying water in the front of the UPS. You'd 
think they would have thought of that but hey, live and learn.

Their support is also excellent. Even the water spray incident and 
follow on support getting back on line was excellent.
