[AusNOG] [off-topic] PA Fuel Cells instead of generators for redundant power - anyone doing this?

[Curtis Bayne]

AusNOG,

Is anyone using fuel cells instead of generators for redundant power? I've been doing some research over the past few days and dependent on bypass/startup time (nobody can give me a straight answer here) one could possibly eliminate a UPS entirely?

For the non-believers, check this out: http://www.utcpower.com/fs/com/bin/fs_com_Page/0,11491,0122,00.html

It also appears as if Verizon are using them in one of their facilities (according to http://www.utcpower.com/fs/com/bin/fs_com_Page/0,11491,0260,00.html)

Regards,
Curtis
