    Well I don't have all the model # handy,


But we have a rack setup like this =D

    2 feed 220v/30a going into:

        2 x ATS AP4431 (an older version) feeding:

            2 x AP7941 - Manageable

                21 x C13 - per AP - for the devices.

                2 x C19 going into:

                    2 x ATS AP7723 - Monitorable

                        8 x C13 - per AP - For servers (with ILO/iDRAC) with single power supplies.

    1 feed 110v/15a going into:

        Some APC(?) rackmount UPS

            1 x AP7920B (an older version of it) - Manageable

                For device like OOB Modem, Server...


    All used, with spares, for under 2k.

    Its too bad for APC for making such sturdy devices and providing award winning documentation =D


BOM for new:

    AP4431 -> $1275
    AP7941 -> AP8941 -> $1000
    AP7723 -> AP4434 -> $1050
    AP7920B - $579

    Total: ~$7230

    Which is pretty good considering.  PS: Check if the Mgmt Card is included at that price.


Caution:
    1. DO NOT put any infrastructure interfaces on the net; put them behind a high grade (2FA | Certificate+TLS) VPN access;

        I saw so many, so called PCI Certified, clients do it...

    2. And remember to not go over 24A total or you may turn a breaker to dust.

    3. It is not optimal because of the 110v but we had it...
