One would think that, then one discovers the magic of
broken UPSes.
I remember one installation where it was a mix of
machines on site power and machines on unmaintained UPSes.
There was a higher incident of power related down time on the systems
on UPSes because the UPSes hadn't had batteries replaced after
they'd been discharged too far, nor had the dust bunnies blown
out periodically.
Unfortunately UPSes and NVRAM fail to address what tends to be
the core problem. Morons in the Machine Room.
