At a previous job, we had the best luck with APC PDUs.  Very reliable
and have both IP and serial interfaces.  We had a Raritan IP KVM
infrastructure which frankly sucked (for many reasons previously listed)
and seemed to be down more than it was up.  I've had good luck with
Cyclades serial console servers and their support (was a while ago) but
haven't tried thier IP KVM solutions.
