How does that work?  So now we buy a whole bunch of tiny gensets, and a 
whole bunch of baby UPSen and smaller cooling units to support little 
datacenters?  Not to mention diverse paths to each point..

unmanagable?


I suppose the maintenance industry would love the surge in extra 
contracts to keep all the gear running....
