if you are looking for a professonal solution for ups apc is the way to 
go.  they have powerchute plus including support for apache (cgi's ?)  
that displays all kinds of stats.   they are getting them selves phased 
out of a fair amount of corperations due to paying for the name.  their 
support is uposed to be quite good for litning strikes etc that nock out 
the ups/equipment.  I was prevously a reliability reseller for them and 
still have material around.  

another to look in to is cyber power their are some modles supported by 
nut it is usualy a cheeper solution ihave had several in y house 
personaly 2 were killed when a transformer overloaded about 3 blocks 
away and zaped the hell out of the grid my equipment was not harmed by 
that overlaod.
