We're replacing TrippLite with APC. Had two TrippLite SNMP/Web cards stop working at random times, and need to be reset. Pain when the datacenter is far away. On a different note TrippLite support has been super awesome.
The APC line we went with, model # escaping me at the moment, only had overall unit AMP load indicator. But their SNMP access is nice, for custom graphs in Cacti etc, and being able to remote bounce an outlet. We did have a few WTI, the really old ones, which did not store the config in flash, thus needed to be reconfigured via serial after power outage. Even with that annoyance, they had much faster response time from telnet (....I know, old) turning on/off outlets than either of APC or TrippLite. -Petter ________________________________________ From: trit...@cox.net [trit...@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 12:05 PM To: shawn wilson; North American Network Operators Group Subject: Re: PDU recommendations APC is solid. Their newer line can provide outlet metering. WTI is also good...they support redundant circuits.

We're adding a new 30A circuit and I'm thinking of going with APC (ran them in the past and never had any issues). However, I figured I'd see if there was a better brand / specific model recommendations for quality or bang / buck? Specs: 30A 24+ port 0U, managed (with ssh), lcd use display.
