Sandy,
We put UPS backup on every switch/stack on our 13 campuses to support VOIP
phones in the event of a power outage for a minimum of 15 minutes. Some
campuses have a generator, and the UPS is only there to buffer.
As for our switching, all edge switches are HP/Aruba which carry lifetime
warranties.
Thanks
Jason

Good morning -
I would be interested to know how many of you include UPS purchases for
switches in each network closet in your campus deployments. If you do not build
in backup power, do you put your switches on a maintenance contract, or do you
pay to replace them when they fail outside of warranty?
Thanks very much.
Sandy
