A KVM adapter or switch is what you're after for 'some sort of pre-BIOS control
system to be able to control it booting, shut-down and turn on from the internet' ;)

<Confirmation> Yes, I can host HW in our server room, I will be just as Colin said,
one LAN behind the Fezile server. The Fezile server has three LAN adapters, only one is
precently used, this is a waste :) . HW hosted here should preferably have some sort of
pre-BIOS control system to be able to controll it booting, shut-down and turn on from the
internet.</Confirmation>
