It sounds like a great idea....until one of those small
UPSes smokes out, triggering the fire suppression (or at least
preaction), possibly also causing the power to be cut to the floor.
The customer with the small UPS that smoked out generally
does not like receiving the bill for everyone else's equipment
cleaning, too.
