APC and Raritan Power Control Module/Extension now available

[othellotech]

This add-on module allows you and your clients to control the power supply to their dedicated servers, colocated servers, devices etc, if connected through an APC Switchable PDU or Raritan Switchable PDU

 

It allows for:

power-on (fantastic if you use PXE boot to do inital installs)

power-off

reboot

on APC and Raritan

And power-draw figures also on Raritans

 

- £125 setup (initial licence fee) + £25/year (for fixes and updates)

 

Setup includes FTP upload and Installation (recommended), but most WHMCS users have grasped how to create a directory, update a firewall rule, make a mysql db file, edit a config file and test it - we will provide instructions if you want to do it yourself

 

So £150(+vat) year 1, £25(+vat) after that - will continue to work if you dont renew the licence *and* is unencrypted so you can extend it and verify there are no security holes.

 

There are some additional reports and features coming later in the year to allow those with datacentres and suites to manage and report on their footprint/rack power-draw and some graphing/statistics - ETA is *End-December* for the next release.

 

Screen shots to follow and a test login to our WHMCS is available on request to see it in the client area ... post to the thread and I'll PM you the login.

Any chance you can add support for DigitalLoggers PDUs? http://www.webpowerswitch.com/

[othellotech]

If they use SNMP for control, you can provide access to a test unit, and are buying the module, we can add any type for £50+vat

Where do you order this at? I seem to be having trouble finding it.

Im sure this is covered but i assume if a client is anything other than Active the Options wont function for them

[othellotech]

if the product is not active, the control for power is not shown

Rob,

We would be willing to buy this (+ 50 pounds) if you can make it work with the Tripplite PDU series.

 

We can provide you logins to the PDU and it does use SNMP.

 

Please PM me for more

It's £50 *plus* the cost of the actual module - the £50 is to extend it to use a new type of PDU ...

which is very good rate, our normal charges are from £750/day

Rob, Can you get me the logins to test these:

 

Cacti Bridge, APC/Raritan Power Control, and DNS Manager. Any chance you will get your Cacti plugin to bill overages for clients?

The original post said a new update is coming in december with new features, as that was 5 months+ ago did that new version come out?
