Network controlled rack power

mdomino

Couldn't find anything with a quick search/google and was wondering if you guys had any (cheap) recommendations. I've got my rack at home with my servers/routers/switches but it takes a ton of power and heats up my place way too quick. I'd prefer to be able to remotely turn it on and off (I already do this with my home PC via Wake-On-LAN).

Are you guys aware of anything like this for a PDU/power strip that could support up to 5 or 6 devices or one power strip? Ideally I'd like to be able to control it and turn it on/off from anywhere.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'd prefer to keep it around $50-75 if possible but thanks for giving me more guidance on how to find these things.

We use these in production: Synaccess Remote Power Control Products and I can vouch for them. Not sure of what they cost used, but we use the np-05b model specifically. Very solid and simple to manage.

Check out Western Telematics.

The WTI Remote Site Manager is a great product. You'll get switched outlets, and console server access. They also make power only or console only varieties.

If youre looking to go real cheap, look at the Web Power Switch from Digital Loggers
