Just looking at setting up a new small server room and I'm currently hunting around for some decent managed PDU's.
Initially I've been looking at the APC offerings, but it seems that HP do some decent full/half height PDU's at about 25-35% less then the APC equivalent.
Has anyone used the HP PDU's before? And if you have do you know how well they mount in HP or APC racks?
Finally we're looking at needing around 12kVA of UPS power initially (which allows a little room for expansion), but I'd like to implement a solution which can gives us both some redundancy and the ability to expand at a later date. Does anyone have any suggestions for good UPS solutions that fulfil these criteria? We don't have a massive budget for this project which is why I'm having to look at a solution that can be expanded later, rather then just getting a large solution now.
