You might think that remote management of your UPS is overkill.
Chances are pretty good, actually.
It's not paranoia or overkill. According to industry experts, companies with valuable communications systems to protect are catching on. The trend toward implementing some type of remote monitoring and maintenance application is on the rise. They must be up all the time, and will lose gobs of money for every minute of downtime spent replacing a server or swapping out boards on a switch. It shouldn't be a leap in logic, then, to outsource remote equipment and power maintenance services as well.
