developing SNMP management for UPS gear. Their MasterSwitch product
line allows for serial port access to power outlets, as well as telnet and HTTP

BayTech has been developing power control products for nearly a decade, but
they’ve been working on digital equipment for more than 25 years. Their
remote control power strips can be controlled via a serial connection, or some
have an integrated modem.

Server Technologies is new to me, but their Sentry line looks very interesting.
It’s larger than the APC and BayTech units, but it also can switch more power.
(Both APC and BayTech have some units witch can switch lots of power. If
you need to switch high-current loads, do your homework and check all three!)
I like the Power Tower power strip, but other units also switch a console port
as well as switching a power connection.
