Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows where to obtain low powered rack-mount
hardware with redundant power.

I'm looking to setup a couple of Linux based DHCP servers, but I'm
trying to keep power usage as low as possible (in the realm of 200w-300w
each if possible, as these will be going in a DC) The servers themselves
don't have to be high spec processor or memory wise, not particularly
fussed on processor architecture as long as it can run up Linux.

The problem I'm finding is I can source servers with low power
requirements, but no redundancy - most servers I have found with
redundant power are 400w+

Does anyone on the list have any experience or knowledge with any
companies who sell such a product (without ordering 500+ units)? I'd
appreciate a helpful point in the right direction.

/ The right direction is to ask this question on a mailing list for system administration topics. They'll buy this sort of stuff far more commonly that most people on this list, so that is where you're likely to get the best advice.
/ SAGE-AU is one mailing list/group where you're likely to get better answers, I think somebody was trying to set up an AusSOG mailing list a while ago too.
