You could probably run your entire server room on a 12-20k generac guardian and be done with the whole thing. 7k unit runs pretty much my whole house. And it puts out clean enough power that my APC's don't complain. Power goes off and 30 sec later it comes back on. Natural Gas or LP Powered. It's a lot more expensive that the portable air conditioner you started out wanting but if your supporting all the locations you say then it would pay for itself in a few hours of lost production.

Everyone goes down. These discussions should always be build around cost of downtime. If you really mean "everyone goes down" (and it sounds like you do), then I'd say your cost of downtime would be quite large. Given that, I would say you should absolutely get an auto-start generator and an automatic transfer switch, hard-wired so that they power your computer room chiller and your UPS. Don't futz around with mickey-mouse solutions. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
