I am finally upgrading from my 2 smaller colo's to a half rack and now I have to provide my own PDU, which I wasn't initially expecting. I am looking to spend less than $100 after shipping and even less would be better. I don't think I need remote reboot as I can do that with IPMI on 98% of my systems and if that fails, they do offer free manual reboots if/when needed. If I can find a good deal though on ones that do have it though, it definitely wouldn't hurt. Would definitely be useful though if they did metering so I could see how many amps I am using. Per port port metering would be nice, but I dont I think only total amps usage is going to be available within my price range. I could go with a zeroU 110v 20amp Trip Lite that would give me 28 ports or I do have a couple short systems and could put multiple 1U PDU's behind them that were maybe cheaper than the Trip Lite or offered more features. I seem to only get 1 x 5-20P 110V 20A port from my DC if that makes any difference.
Any suggestions? I am completely new to PDU shopping and am really looking for some guidance on this. Thanks!
