[c-nsp] Multiple power supply failures. Advise needed

[Michael Ulitskiy]

Hello,

After a little pause it started happening again and we lost 2 more power supplies 
(this time in servers) during last week.
Can anybody advice on a good organization that could do independent power analysis 
in New York, NY?
Thank you,

Michael
