Hi,

Anyone receive their remote reboot ports from dedicatednow yet? We've been waiting for a month now and everytime I contacted Matt, he gave a date and then when I contacted him when it was past the date promised, he said there was a delay and gave a new date. Its been like this for about 3 times now. On the last occasion, I did not receive a reply.

Does anyone know whats happening?

Thanks! :)

When I asked, I was told they would be made available near the end of December. Hopefully we will see them sometime before or just after the new year.

how do they work?

Are they free @ DN?

Nervermind $50 :)

Could you explain it to me please? How does it work?

There's a web panel you log into and you can restart your server or set it to restart at a later time.

really so its like a little control panel that you can reboot your server with? Is that all it does? can I get a link to check it out?

www.apcc.com go to the PDU (power distribution section), and then check the ap9211's. These are the most common types of "remote reboot" and are simply a glorified power bar with snmp/telnet/www control and an rj45 jack, whose sockets power up and down on demand, quite handy, excessively overpriced and difficult to obtain currently though :(.

How many boxes can you attach to a 9211?

apc ap9211 has 8 ports, 1 rj45, and a serial console, nice little units, its too bad their list prices are so absurd though ($600/ea or more, i hear wholesalers get a *far* better price).

Just checked it out. Looks cool and pricing comes out to about $350 / 8, so approximately $45 per customer port.
