Personally I don't like this setup as it adds exposures and solves none.

1. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by having two mutually redundant power supplies tied to the same source; it defeats the whole purpose of having two mutually redundant power supplies.

2. We did NOT overload the UPS; we exhausted it. The power outage lasted 80 minutes, and because it was extremely localized, and at a time when nobody was in the office, and there was no provision to send a distress call, we did not find out about it until 20 hours later. Our UPS is running at considerably less than full capacity.

3. We have had at least as many system crashes caused by UPS malfunctions as we've had from actual power outages. In at least one case, we had a system shutdown caused directly by a self-test failure causing a false "emergency shutdown" signal to be sent.
