I'm considering getting a remote power control device that will allow me to reboot my servers when the data center my servers are at is too slow at doing that.
Can anyone recommend some good switches? (6+ outlets)

APC makes some great stuff... look around their web site at http://www.apcc.com

The model we use allows both web and telnet access to control power on/off on each port.

We have a couple APC MasterSwitches and they are great. You can turn on/off each server and even have a boot order.

Very nice!

APC is fine until you try and install on Sun servers.

ttyb is not a valid port

I have just spent 4 hours installing a new ups and apc powerchute without success...
