We're replacing TrippLite with APC. Had two TrippLite SNMP/Web cards stop w=
orking at random times, and need to be reset. Pain when the datacenter is f=
ar away. On a different note TrippLite support has been super awesome.
The APC line we went with, model # escaping me at the moment, only had over=
all unit AMP load indicator. But their SNMP access is nice, for custom grap=
hs in Cacti etc, and being able to remote bounce an outlet.
We did have a few WTI, the really old ones, which did not store the config =
in flash, thus needed to be reconfigured via serial after power outage. Eve=
n with that annoyance, they had much faster response time from telnet (....=
I know, old) turning on/off outlets than either of APC or TrippLite.

APC is solid. Their newer line can provide outlet metering. WTI is also goo=

We currently use Triplite stuff but they've got an issue where after a few =
minutes, they stop accepting new tcp connections. We're adding a new 30A ci=
rcuit and I'm thinking of going with APC (ran them in the past and never ha=
d any issues). However, I figured I'd see if there was a better brand / spe=
cific model recommendations for quality or bang / buck?
Specs: 30A 24+ port 0U, managed (with ssh), lcd use display.
