If it's a server that actually deserves that name, it should have IPMI on board.
Problem is some of us work for budget constraints customers and define server by purpose and not specifications. So very often they buy servers based on budget and that it's good enough to run most applications for X users. Unfortunately, very often I'm the one who ends up managing these simply because our applications run on them.
I'd go for a power-switch then. Less logic.

You can buy add-on PCI-cards for OOB-management, though.
Thanks for the information, although unless they are really cheap...
Define "cheap". I live and work in 2011's 6th most expensive city of the world....
Virtualization is an option, but the trouble is: if the server is I/O- constrained anyway, virtualization won't help. Everything will just be even slower.
