Remote Reboot!

Yes, servers do lock up sometimes! What do you do when it is 11 at night and the server locks up? A simple device from APC saves you a trip to the office to power on and off the server (or router or firewall.) APC's Rack PDU is a rack mountable device that allows you to remotely turn on and off an outlet effectively powering on and off a server. The device has 8 outlets and can be accessed via a web browser, SNMP or Telnet. The device also allows you to delay power up of the equipment so you can choose which devices boot first. The Rack PDU from APC resells for less than $500. If this devices saves you one trip to the office in the middle of the night, it would be worth the price! Installation is simple. Just plug it in and configure the security password and outlet names. Call us if you're interested!
