I use APC, because the explicitly support Linux, even providing the Linux version of their powerchute program on their website.
... Right now I'm considering a new UPS. I used MGE (a sponsor of NUT), but they seem to be taken over by APC. My question : do you protect more than one server with one UPS ? Does Powerchute provide information to the servers not directly communicating with the UPS ? What I mean is, when the UPS is exhausted, does the "master" server sends messages so the "slave" servers also go down cleanly (not just power off) ? "Master" meaning the server that listens to the UPS's status, "slaves" just get power from the UPS. Can Windows be part of this setup ? I looked on their web-site but I didn't find these answers, maybe I overlooked ?
I can't speak about powerchute but I do have several APC UPS including one protecting several servers. They all get notified because I use the open-source program apcupsd that is part of the suse release. "It runs on Linux, Tru64, Mac OS/X, Win32, Solaris as well as other OSes".
