Hopefully this is not too long! There has been a lot of changes since the last time I posted a full overview like this

Like the idea of multi-room UPS. Question, once the UPS battery run out during a power outage, is there any other type of power generation (Solar, Propane or gasoline) as a backup (aware of the servers will consume more watts than it can generate)?
Ops got a diesel backup generator, says it takes 10 min to kick in if there's a power outage.
its a Natural Gas generator, and it actually takes 10 SECONDS!
Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap
In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed
