Re: Do the VM cabs have a UPS?

It's just a battery at the end of the day. You can use it to do what you need it to do if you know your power requirements. They also protect against power surges which can be caused by all sorts of things.

A desktop sized UPS will keep networking gear going for hours. A decent UPS will talk to connected devices and let them know when it's running on battery and when it gets low, so they can safely shut themselves down before the power runs out.
