this is a real good deal if you are looking for the larger units

small upss (e.g. 350VA) can be found at similar prices on sale at OM, OD, staples etc.

sweet deal - been looking for one of these for work. I have two servers, two hubs & a pretty hefty phone system. Would it be better to buy two or three smaller units or plug everything into 1 larger capacity one ???

I would put one on each server so that the UPS can automatically shut down the servers during power outages. I don't see why you would want to put UPSs on your hubs since no one will be using your network during a power outage.

The smart ups's actually have support an ethernet add-on so they can connect to a network and shutdown multiple devices in case of a power failure. The add-on is is sold separately but is very cheap on ebay.
