Re: What do you have in your datacenters' toolbox?

should all of this end up on a wiki/etc perhaps? like cluepon or
equivalent? it seems this question set comes up periodically and
having a google-able/bing-able/webcrawler-able reference available
would be helpful to everyone.

I did some work from 2009 to 2012 in 3rd world datacenters and will
note some highlights.

- Easy to use power plug pinout testers for various outlets.
- Lantronix Spider, serial adapters for console server to
UPS/Switch/etc and a USB battery supply


I love my SpiderDuo's. No more KVM carts, ever.

Seth, I carry one with my laptop at all times.  It also is a great way
to get a USB CDROM/Floppy when needed.
