Remotely logging in

I have not rent a rack so I do not know it works, but if you want to access to your equipment remotely, then :

1. If all the equipments have internal ip addresses which you can not access directly, then you can use VPN to access to your company network first and then you can access to those equipments, if your company has a VPN server.
2. If you have one equipment with two interfaces, one with a real ip address and one with company ip address, like a Cisco router, then you can remotely access directly access to your router via the interface with the real ip address. And then from there, you can telnet/ssh to other systems. For secure, use SSH to access to your router.

Hope this helps,

DT

It depends on the facilities offered by the rack ISP ;-)

If you want to be more realistic, you should search around for "console servers" and "reboot reboot".
