Reuben This is an area I have a lot of experience in. We have terrible power on the island and I run a few servers in different buildings around here.
I am guessing that you are using 500-750 VA stand alone UPS units. My first move woud be to dump those as they are more trouble than they are worth. Get a 4-6 KVA unit with enough capacity to power your machines through the worst outage you can reasonably expect. Then get a power monitoring system that will send you an alert when the power goes out for more than, say, 20 minutes. Keep it simple and stay away from fancy stuff, get simple and reliable stuff with the ability to expand the battery capacity cheaply. Sealed 12v UPS batteries are excellent with a 5 year life expectancy. Avoid a UPS with little panasonic 12V batteries.
