We have switched to Chatsworth products PDU line - robust and dependable in over 100 redundant installs - all outlet/environmental/SNMP and other options well behaved with plug-ins as well tech support is easier to access/escalate Bill -----Original Message----- From: Petter Bruland [mailto:Petter.Bruland () allegiantair com] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 3:42 PM To: tritran () cox net; shawn wilson; North American Network Operators Group Subject: RE: PDU recommendations We're replacing TrippLite with APC. Had two TrippLite SNMP/Web cards stop working at random times, and need to be reset. Pain when the datacenter is far away. On a different note TrippLite support has been super awesome. The APC line we went with, model # escaping me at the moment, only had overall unit AMP load indicator. But their SNMP access is nice, for custom graphs in Cacti etc, and being able to remote bounce an outlet. We did have a few WTI, the really old ones, which did not store the config in flash, thus needed to be reconfigured via serial after power outage. Even with that annoyance, they had much faster response time from telnet (....I know, old) turning on/off outlets than either of APC or TrippLite. -Petter ________________________________________ From: tritran () cox net [tritran () cox net] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 12:05 PM To: shawn wilson; North American Network Operators Group Subject: Re: PDU recommendations APC is solid. Their newer line can provide outlet metering. WTI is also good...they support redundant circuits. I've seen Baytech died after just unplugging a server. ------Original Message------ From: shawn wilson To: North American Network Operators Group Subject: PDU recommendations Sent: Jun 23, 2013 8:37 AM We currently use Triplite stuff but they've got an issue where after a few minutes, they stop accepting new tcp connections. We're adding a new 30A circuit and I'm thinking of going with APC (ran them in the past and never had any issues). However, I figured I'd see if there was a better brand / specific model recommendations for quality or bang / buck? Specs: 30A 24+ port 0U, managed (with ssh), lcd use display.
