Power
All servers, their external storage, their network switch (and its PoE-powered devices), are powered by an Eaton 5SC 750G (750VA / 525W) with Pure Sine Wave.
The main server is running a NUT-server (Network UPS Tools), and all other devices either run NUT-clients to get shut down in time, or are shut down by other devices that have it. After the power comes back online, all devices are automatically started again by the UPS.
Currently this is only for a safe shutdown of the servers and its harddisks. The main internet router is not covered by a UPS.
