Dear Petr, following-up myself:

I'd like to add that the Cyclades TSxxxx terminal servers are actually running Linux, with source code available, so you can even hack the device if you are in the mood for it... > ... if you want something that scales well from > just 2 or 3 power outlets initially to several hundrets, then you can > for example use radio-controlled sockets like the FS20ST (see for > example http://www.elv.de/fs20-st-3-funk-schaltsteckdose.html - sory, > in German only) which can be controlled through FHEM software > (http://fhem.de/fhem.html). The nice thing of these radio-controlled switches is that you can put these wherever you need one - with a single transmitter you can usually control devices even 2 or 3 rooms away - you are not limited to putting all boards in a rack, you can plug a socket wherever you happen to need one.
