I back up what Tet says. What you need is a decent UPS.
APC have an on-line calculator which lets you choose the model.
If the kit is in a rack, get a small rackmount model and put it in the
bottom of the rack. Use it to power the server, disk arrays etc.
SmartUPS 1500 should do you a treat.
For kit which you can't provide a UPS for use power distribution strips
which have surge protection.
