		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a pretty good question given the perilous state of the US power distribution network, the ever increasing load and the ever increasing dependance (around the world) for US based IT and network systems.

		<description><![CDATA[We all worry about failures in our data centers, some types of failure more than others. Losing a server is bad, losing a storage array extremely bad!
