There's at least two ways. One is to keep the servers powered even after they are unplugged from wall power (they have special adaptors for portable PSUs). The other is to cryogenically cool the RAM then cut the power, keep the RAM cooled, and then read it later in a lab.

Interesting. The ram cooling sounds like it could work if done quickly and precisely enough. :)
That's an interesting point. Wonder how complete that approach is, and if it maintains network connectivity between the servers they're grabbing?
Some clustering solutions automatically reboot a server if it loses network connectivity for a short period of time (ie 1 min). That would really mess up the "preserve stuff in ram" thing, if it's purely just designed to keep a server running.
