Our solution to this was pretty simple: A gasoline generator and some heavy-duty cable :) No idea how that would scale (probably poorly), but at least it enabled us to get core services back online.
Try that with 480 volts 3 phase where you need 4 500 MCM cables for each phase. The nice thing is you can walk in the generator in winter to stay warm.
