It is likely that in many settings during power failures transition from ac street power to ac generator power will have some lag and during that time your hardware could loose power. This of course depends on ups systems in use and many factors. Dc usually however is clean in its transition and goes with out saying is battery backed up. Also, some hardware only is available in DC form such as the ons15454's I believe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ip dude" <ipdude@cattle-today.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 5:14 PM Subject: DC power versus AC power
Hello NANOG group. I am trying to make a case for using DC power supplies
versus AC power supplies for typical IP networking equipment. Is there any published whitepapers detailing this subject? Do you have any suggestions to aide my argument?
