HP Advanced ILO

no comments
Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 by Cabe

If you're running any HP based servers that support ILO, its best to spring for the advanced package. Typically around $400 or so but provides you with some pretty rock solid features.

- Virtual KVM
- Terminal Services Integration
- Virtual Media & Folders
- LDAP integration
- Historical reporting on Power
- Console Replay

Seriously, the Virtual Media and Folders pretty much make the whole package worth it. Even if you're not with HP based servers, Dell and IBM both offer their own ILO alternatives. Being able to troubleshoot a machine via console over VPN is a valuable tool.
