Equipment recommendations for remote reboot?

[David Hubbard]

APC managed power strip and set the server bios to power on
upon power restoration rather than 'last state'.  I've found
that ilo in many manufacturers servers is not 100% reliable,
but removing power from the device certainly gets the job
done. :-)
