I'm in a situation where I'm going to have to deploy a rack of servers in an unmanned location in another country. On rare occasions, I've had systems that would not recover gracefully from a warm reboot and needed the power cycled. Years ago, I had such a device from APC, but haven't needed one in a long time since all my locations are staffed. I'd welcome any suggestions from the list.

Ahhh, the APC MasterSwitch. I had a bunch of these at my last job. Some of the things people have already suggested look interesting though :)

APC still makes the MasterSwitch line too... http://apcc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=70 and http://apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP9225
