1 Product Description

Product Description

The WebReboot is a web-based remote reboot switch capable of
managing up to 8 computers. Through a simple web interface it
allows up to 8 users plus an administrator to reboot any
computer remotely and securely over the Internet, even behind a
firewall.

The WebReboot operates by connecting to the reset pins on a
server's motherboard, avoiding the need to re-route the power
cables through the server racks. This method is much safer than
traditional power-cycling equipment because it avoids a power
surge to fragile server components.
