Looking for advice on datacenter electrical/generator

Wed Apr 2 23:47:40 UTC 2003

That issue is something that we talked about.  Having never worked with
a generator for a long period of time, I don't have any feel for the
reliability.  My question back to you would be, how much battery do you
use?

Thanks for the input!

Dan

just how certain are you that your generator is always going to start
within 15 minutes?
