I am concerned about remote power control, though. If you know your datacenter, you can get all kinds of remote-controlled power strips. With us, we don't always know beforehand what kind of power the DCs will have, and I'd like the exact same equipment everywhere (except the cables, of course). In order to achieve this, I used Cyclades (now Avocent) ATP3120-001 (20A@100-240V input on IEC C320-20, 10A outputs on IEC C320-13). They have three shortcomings: - sometimes they forget their configuration (not critical) - they can only be accessed by serial console (no SNMP etc.) - consequently there's no power meter remote readout Is anyone here aware of such universally usable devices that can be accessed over IP and give power readouts remotely? Electrical specs are as above - 20 Amps input (for 120V countries), usable anywhere from 100-240 Volts and IEC input and output plugs... Any hints? (No, APC fails in the 100-240V part) (No, Perle fails in the 100-240V and the IEC part) (No, even Avocent's other strips fail there...)
Check out something like the BayTech RPC3 or RPC41 family? I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, but that's what I just picked to have per-outlet monitoring and control for a research datacenter we're building.
