Idk why you'd use a fuse in a PDU.
MCB units age. Especially with vibration. A 10A MCB becomes a 9A MCB after
some miles
Does anyone on list have experience with the APC AP7920 switched rack PDU, or
any of the horizontal rack mountables with management? We're looking at these
for our remote sites.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with Geist's outlet monitoring
product?
I recently started using there basic PDU's and so far so good. But am
wondering if anyone has feed back on Geist's outlet monitoring product.

Hello Michael, does that mean you do not employ PDUs in your network?
I.e., found a UPS with sufficient number of outlets in the back. With
that in mind, could you make a recommendation for such a UPS-direct
for a VM environment.
Kind Regards,
Nick.
No, I only use APC anymore for PDUs. It's the others I've dealt with
I don't like. There's quite a few I've never used but after the
painfully expensive experiences I've had with Tripp-Lite, Bay tech,

APC is solid. Their newer line can provide outlet metering. WTI is also
good...they support redundant circuits. I've seen Baytech died after just
unplugging a server.

That's an improvement then. Raritan has had this feature for years, with
visibility via SNMP. This was one of the reasons I dumped APC a couple of
years ago.

The APC metered-by-outlet series are relatively new. I figured it was

Raritan has a good line, the usual features, we use a lot of 2U, 208v,30A units
with 20xc13 which is a good config these days
Their central management software, while not perfect, is excellent for pdu

Been at a place where they have hundreds of APC's in production, all monitored
and reporting back. Hardly a lick of trouble.
Love the fact you can reboot the management interface in the rare case there is
a hang and it does not affect the status of the outlets.

And now for the stupid question. Is there an APC UPS in a U form factor
with sufficient
outlets that can act kind of like a PDU, only better?
PS If it has stonith capabilities ever better!!!
Kind Regards,
Nick.
I'll also throw out recommendations for ServTech PDUs. They have an affordable
line of PDUs with static transfer switches that are particularly attractive for
all your single-power-supply devices.

Nick, he meant he was using APC PDUs, not APC UPSs with PDU functionality...
APC is also the PDU vendor I would recommend.

I used an APC (I think) 1U PDU at a client a few years back. The bugger was it
wasn't deep, so after the cabinet started getting really populated, the back
outlets were a PITA. We started using the full-height back of the cabinet PDU
strips (one on each side for A B power respectively) after
Eaton have 1U UPS that provide the same runtime as a 2U APC. Are they any good?

The management interface can be rebooted without taking anything down on
the TrippLite but it's at a colo and it *shouldn't* time out like it does.
I think of this like a vehicle computer - if it goes down, you might
