Different phases of power? Did you have 3-phase ran to your house or something?
You could get a Starlink for redundant internet connection. Load balancing / fail over is an interesting challenge if you like to DIY.
In the US at least, most equipment (unless you get into high-and datacenter stuff) runs on 120V. We also use 240V power, but a 240V connection is actually two 120V phases 180-degrees out of sync. The main feed coming into your home is 240V, so your breaker panel splits the circuits evenly between the two phases. Running dual-phase power to a server rack is as simple as just running two 120V circuits from the panel.
My rack only receives a single 120V circuit, but it's backed up by a dual-conversion UPS and a generator on a transfer switch. That was enough for me. For redundancy, though, dual phases, each with its own UPS, and dual-PSU servers are hard ro beat.
Exactly this. 2 phase into house, batteries on each leg. While it would be exceedingly rare for just one phase to go out... i can in theory weather that storm indefinitely.
Nope 240. I have 2x 120v legs.
I actually had verizon home internet (5g lte) to do that... but i need static addresses for some services. I'm still working that out a bit...
Couldn't you use a VPS as the public entry point?
I could... But it would be a royal pain in the ass to find a VPS that has a clean address to use (especially for email operations).
