If you already have a KVM Solution you can add this box http://www.realvnc.com/products/KVM-via-IP/. It will mean you don't throw away your current investment.

Again, does that go over the top in cost? I have run as many as 10 1U servers off of a single APC 1400, which works at 15 amps, and as many 24 off a single 20amp breaker split across 2 1400VA UPSs. A 2200VA unit only needs a 20 amp circuit. What are you currently running them from? A single circuit breaker I bet, so all you really need is runtime, not power. Buy a unit that matches the power rating of your current breaker, that has extended life battery add-ons, most brands have them. -- Best regards, Charles mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
