[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk server with remote monitoring capabilities

[Marie]

I've yet to run into a Co-Lo facility that didn't offer a reboot
service. Yes, some charged me for it, but it always seemed to be an
option.

Check your machine before purchasing the remote control power strips.
I bought one for a troublesome server that was not capable of
automatically repowering itself. Made for a rather expensive "D'oh".

Most of my Asterisk boxes are running full Linux installs (gui, etc --
not stripped down -- vnc, webserver, and Oracle one) and go without
trouble for months and months -- the only time I've had to reboot them
is when I do something stupid.

For what the remote power strips cost, you're better off determine
what the problem is to begin with and investing in new hardware (if
necessary). Any of these solutions worth having are not cheap. It's
not going to help you much if you buy a crap remote power solution
that ends up needing to be monitored itself.
