Wouldn't a UPS with monitoring be a better alternative? Allow the server to power down safely on UPS when it detects a power lost state. Most UPSes I know have either serial or USB monitoring, sometimes even Ethernet on higher-end models (although I've never looked at the monitoring systems in depth, YMMV).
