Re: rackmount managed PDUs

http://www.webpowerswitch.com/ I've used these quite a bit. Depending
on the model you can get per port or per zone power management, and it
sends alerts if it's not in the state it's supposed to be, and some of
them can auto kickover things like routers if they suddenly cant route
(might be dangerous, I don't use this one except at the CPE)

I have an opportunity coming up to rebuild an existing machine room
space to an extent. It's not a total gut-and-refit, but I'll at least
get to put in some new infrastructure. That said, I'd be interested
in hearing about peoples' experiences with various rackmountable
managed PDUs.
I have some Tripp Lite PDUMH30NETs that work well and are reasonably
priced, but they have a few quirks (no RS-232 console port, web
interface seems to be a little shaky with Firefox, etc) that would
become more annoying when scaled up to several rows of new rack
footprints. I'm also open to using managed vertically mounted PDUs.
The plan is for each footprint to have "A" and B" feeds, so two
PDUMH30NETs would take up 4U per footprint, which is a bit much...
I don't need to worry about distributing DC power - just AC.
This site will be lights-out most of the time, so robust remote
management capabilities are a must.
Any thoughts/insight are greatly appreciated.
