A power failure is one of the most common problems in a server

environment, and also one of the most dangerous, because power

failures can cause data loss after the system shuts down without

closing data files and applications. An Uninterruptible Power Supply

(UPS) filters the current and, in the event of a general power failure,

provides the system with enough power that the applications can close

properly.

Also consider location and environment (air conditioning, ventilation,

and so on) for the equipment.

Avoid renaming computers.

Avoid changing the name of a computer. This type of change can have

far-reaching implications, sometimes necessitating the reinstallation

of applications.
