Auto-switching power supplies Info needed

Auto-switching power supplies Info needed

(OP)
I hope this is the right forum to ask this question.

I’m working on a project that requires that existing computer equipment be provided with auto-switching power supplies  (120 to 220 volt) to prevent damage when moving from the US to overseas and back. Manually flipping a switch is not acceptable...

I have done some online searches and have found some companies that make servers with these already installed, but I need aftermarket units.

Also since the word “equipment” is vague in the description I am assuming other devices such as modems, hubs, etc could be involved. So is there some type of external device that could ‘sit’ between the devices and the outlet?

Can anybody point me to a company or resource where I could research this some more? I know next to nothing about electrical requirements other than the plug goes in the device to power it up so that I can configure it!

Thanks…
