Whats some good PDU's for server racks that are metered? Working on cleaning up one of our closets and have two racks of servers.

Need to get some PDU's in here to clean up the power strips that are currently in place and would like to get some metered PDU's. Each power circuit we have is its own dedicated 120V circuit and goes up to 20A (we would like to keep it at 16A or lower since 16A would be the 80% threshold).

Any have any recommendations and good places to by some? I think all metered PDU's come with SNMP capabilities, but if not, that would be a requirement so we can catch any alerts that may get thrown by our SNMP software.
 
APC is always a good choice when it comes to power.

I know Dell makes some too if you are a dell shop.
 
We use APC in our data center, they work great, metered and can switch ports on/off remotely. We've bought several of them on used from Gruber Power in the past.
 
We use APC's with the locking power cables. Never had a problem with them and monitoring is a cinch
 
Eaton PDU's here... I always seem to be able to get them cheaper than comparative APC PDU's, and I think the quality is better.
 
I've worked with the APC ones, they're pretty nice... but not cheap. Trying to convince management that you want to buy a $1,000 power bar might be a hard sell. :D
