Hello All, I have a question on the best way to handle a situation that we recently had. We had some pretty bad storms come through our city (Birmingham, AL) and had the power to our offices knocked out for a little over two days. We have been there for 3 1/2 years and this has been the only major outage that we have experienced. We have the standard UPS's that handle just about every power situation that we have experienced, but obviously this time we were dead in the water. I know the obvious answer, "get a generator", but the office we are in that is not currently an option. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on what could be set up as far as co-locating some boxes at a provider that has a generator and somehow putting routes into their router via BGP that would 'kick in' for us in case we had another extended power outage. This was just the first thing that popped into my head, but obviously other people have had to address the same issue as well. Thanks for any advice/thoughts on the matter.
