We (adsmart.net) have been using Server Technologies R2000's since our
startup in March.  They handle 30A on 2 separate buses with a total of
8 switched circuits.  We also have the external switch modules which
handle 10A each, for a total of 70A.  There are also modules built
especially for the Cisco 7513.  I would like to see them come up with
a larger switch that took a couple of 30A hubbles with a larger number
if switch ports and maybe a 20A Hubble.  In short, you can telnet or
connect via RS232 to the box and control all of your products.  Ports
can be grouped, or individual and can be named something sane.  My $0.02
