Re: Personal Co-location Registry

You could use dual vertical PDU's with serial management connected to a 1u
serial console / KVM solution. There are a few vendors working on PDU's with
IP / SNMP based management solutions but I don't think they have been
introduced into the marketplace.  Something like this could work:

It looks like the vertical version has a daughter mod that will allow remote
management.  Maximum of 32 AC interfaces per cab.
