Fault-tolerant power control in a computer system is described. In an example, a power controller to control power applied to an enclosure having a plurality of computing devices includes: first and second alternating current (AC) primary power meters respectively measuring first and second input power feeds to the enclosure; a first alternative power meter to measuring power supplied by the first input power feed; a second alternative power meter to measure power supplied by the second input power feed; a first controller coupled to the first primary power meter and the second alternative power meter; and a second controller coupled to the second primary power meter and the first alternative power meter; wherein the first controller is coupled to the second controller.
