How do you protect servers from lightning? What backup power sources do you use to keep them running during power outages? Unlike a home computer for strictly personal use, you can't just shut down and unplug server equipment every time there are thunderstorms in the area, ESPECIALLY in you are located in a lightning-prone area like Florida.
Yes, I know there are UPS systems with surge protection (like the APC 350 product I use), but I suspect that some products are much better (and much more expensive) than others. My APC 350 surge protector with a small battery works for me (though I still unplug my equipment from the power line and phone line when I go out of town or expect thunderstorms), but I'm not running anything on my home computer that the world needs to be able to access 24/7/365. -- Jason Hsu <jhsu802...@jasonhsu.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
