There is a difference between Vigilantism as it is perceived today and Vigilantism as it is in the dictionary. It means neighborhood watch. When the Police is not around, that is something you need. "It's for the children". All in all, very nice blog post. While I feel I can not yet fully comment on the whole Atrivo / Intercage depeering movement, there is an underlying strategy to consider. I will comment at a later date. Gadi.

Re: rackmount managed PDUs
I've pretty much completely sworn off 0U/Vertical PDUs.[1] In my experience, unless you're able to have on-hand, prior to cutting checks, all of the following: sample cabinets, sample servers, sample PDUs, you will NOT end up with a combo that doesn't suck in some fashion. Whether it's PDUs that block access to rear rails (as APC's 0Us do, even in their own cabinets), or PDUs which have their supply cables come out of the PDU horizontally, blocking access to whole portions of the rear of the cabinet (as the HP 3-phase 208V60A PDUs do if used in anything other than the specially crafted HP cabinets). Never again. To be honest, we made the decision simply to dedicate 4U (and 2U of horizontal cable-management) to our cabinet PDUs, and it's a decision I don't regret.

Re: Renesys Blog Article [Was: Re: the Intercage mess]
I'll argue that the term "vigilante" doesn't belong in this conversation. (Apologies to those who have seen this reasoning elsewhere.) Nobody did anything *to* them, it's just that folks stopped doing things *for* them, as an act of self-defense after many years of non-stop, prolific abuse. ---Rsk
