Hardware suggestion

[Rhino_Man]

yar, I was just wondering if the servers have a UPS (uninteruptable power supply) hooked into them.

It's basically a giant battery, but they're useful for servers specifically because if the power goes out (like it did in the first few days of my being here), the server won't take any undue harm from the sudden removal of power.

If it doesn't have one, would I be able to suggest there be plans made to purchase one in the near future? I've got one on my computer and it keeps me from blowing up whenever there's a black or brownout.

Mine is a low end model but it keeps my computer going for about half an hour before shutting itself down (safely, at that). If you spend enough money (the prices generally range from $50 to $500) you can get one that lasts well over 3 or 4 hours.

Whatcha think?
