I also have very much the same questions about the rackmount availability and battery solutions which might be associated with it. I anticipate purchasing a net6501 for personal use when the rackmount solution is available. (I even have a browser tab to the Soekris cases page open which I refresh daily :)
In the instances where I've used net5501's in datecenters in the past, a rackmount case with internal battery providing minor power disturbance mitigation (vs. redundant power supplies) would be a welcome improvement.
