Hi Jeronimo,

When I had servers housed in a different data center a few years back, I
had good luck with APC PDU units (http://bit.ly/TQHjv) to remotely
power-cycle servers, and I also used a serial console server like one of
these: http://bit.ly/uoptY

This way, if you kill your network interface on a server, you still have
a way to get in and fix it without physically traveling to the data center.

Hope that helps,
Greg
