Vote to buy a new UPS
This may not come to a vote, It may be purchased under a "maintaining infrastructure" clause in the budget/bylaws.
That said, it is a lot of relatively expensive equipment being discussed.

On Current Load, we can only run 2 out of 4 hypervisors running. The 2 that are on are nearing capacity.
Turning on a 3rd hypervisor triggers the overloaded alarm on the existing UPS.
