APC's are what I've grown to love... mostly because they're cheap and
plentiful (eBay!) The only issue I've had with them is "flash corruption";
sometimes they have to be reprogrammed after a power outage. I'm using
metered PDUs so it never effects the servers.
But I also have a set of ServerTech dual-feed units. The full monty of DC
features. (in fact, what a number of colo providers use.) I've not used
them in years, 'tho -- lack of facilities to power them. (the electrician
got a little happy cutting out old wiring in the current office and killed
the two existing L6-30 drops. everything else is L21-20.)
