Oh, absolutely. These would be secured on a separate, private network with very specific access controls. These remote sites are more "branch" than data center. Looking at a very limited amount of equipment (1-2 open telco racks/site). Sent from my iPhone On Jun 24, 2013, at 3:01 PM, Alain Hebert <ahebert () pubnix net> wrote:
Hi, Yes. They are good. Nothing I would deploy in a large data center but for a few racks they are perfect. Beware that they are not built to be connected straight to the internet =D. The management module can reset depending on packet payload and overall traffic. They should always be behind some sort of firewall with rules limiting its access. PS: Ours are a few years old, I'm sure APC added some sort of security since then, you may want to look 'em up. Happy 24th to all. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert () pubnix net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul.

Especially with vibration. A 10A MCB becomes a 9A MCB after some miles. Fuses don't. MCB units are good at protecting people since they trip quickly and aggressively. Fuses tend to linger before blowing, and thus are comparatively bad at protecting people (longer shock) but better at protecting infrastructure (surge and switch-on-transient resistance). -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 There's a little picture of ED MCMAHON doing BAD THINGS to JOAN RIVERS in a $200,000 MALIBU BEACH HOUSE!!
