[SASAG] remotely rebootable power-outlet

[J.P. McGlinn]

APC AP7900/7920/7921 would be the 1u strip from APC with 8 outlets. Don’t mind that the 7920/7921 say 208/230v - they’re universal 100-240 volt. The APC units seem to be based on their old monitoring card and do not support IPv6 if you’re looking for that. They might have something newer in the monitoring line with 1 outlet or in a zero-U format if you have $$$$ and a standard rack to support. The AP7921 can be found on ebay for $100 if you’re patient, but you’ll need a configuration cable and power cable.

There are a number of single outlet ones like you found. Some are probably used by the provider industry too but a little unknown to the IT folks, mostly because raritan/apc/eaton have bigger marketing teams. Things like: http://www.bomara.com/cps/apc.htm

For the DIY crowd there’s raspberry pi/beaglebone/etc + RTC module + PowerSwitch Tail. (https://www.adafruit.com/products/268?gclid=CKv0loX7t8YCFcRlfgodX3kK4A <https://www.adafruit.com/products/268?gclid=CKv0loX7t8YCFcRlfgodX3kK4A>)
