So we are settling for the few hours the users should be able to get from their laptops as long as they remember to charge them. Plus possibly have spare laptop charged batteries on standby too. | |

It is possible to get a Tesla Powerwall or similar, a generator or several, UPSes for every user, etc. Unfortunately, those are expensive, complicated, and a much bigger problem than can be addressed properly in a Q&A site :( | |

| Feb 23, 2018 at 16:07 | comment | added | oshirowanen | I agree. We basically need to be able to continue to work even if internet line is down for a day, servers are down for a day, and even if electricity is down... So I guess I laptop battery will solve the electricity being down for at least a few hours as long as the users remember to charge the laptops over night. We currently use RDS and it's disasterous when we lose internet connect, electricity is down, or when the servers are down. 100 users are unable to do anything. | |
