摘要

One embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus for supplying redundant power to a plurality of computer systems. The apparatus includes at least one bus bar, a plurality of power supplies each supplying power at a same voltage level, a plurality of power switches, and a power supply management controller. Power inputs of the computer systems are connected to the at least one bus bar. The power supplies are selectively connected to the at least one bus bar using the power switches. The power supply management controller controls the power switches such that the power is supplied redundantly to the computer systems.
