Would you use a automatic transfer switch in a server rack cabinet?

Automatic transfer switches have two power sources (A and B) and use one of these to power their connected loads. The two power sources can be two UPS systems or two mains power supplies or a combination of the two. If one of the power sources fails, the other is automatically switched in. Automatic transfer switches are an ideal way to add a further level of resilience to a server installation and ones up to 30A can typically be rack mounted making them ideal for server cabinets.
