Generally, one Smart-UPS RT 10KVA RM per rack of 3U/2U/1U servers, UPS
at the bottom, servers above.

If packing the entire rack with 30 1U servers, I add another transformer
to get 36 outlets total, with proper output power distribution from the
UPS. This assume single PSU servers. I'm not a big believer in dual
PSUs WRT SHV servers.

For the 18 SAS drive FC storage arrays, I do one Smart-UPS RT 3000VA per
4 SAN chassis, along with one Smart-UPS RT 192V RM Battery Pack for ~2
hours extended runtime.
