RE: [SAGE] IP KVM's and PDU which give you the most bang for you buck

["Lucky Dog" <a42n8k9@dejazzd.com>]

Check out the Raritan line of PDU and KVM.

The PDUs have remote control ability via a console port that can also be
connected to the KVM.  The KVM has network control so you can access the
console without having to actually be in front of the rack.

They can be a bit pricy IMHO but it's turning out to be well worth it when
you can VPN in from home and either connect to the console or power cycle a
device without having to drive in.

Hope this helps

Hey all,

I'm buying some IP Keyboard, Video and Mouse units and IP Power
distributions units to go in all my remote sites so we can perform some
lights out operations safely, I was wondering what type of IP KVM's and
PDU you've all used and can recommend that provide the good value for money.

Cheers
