  • Enables evaluation of all iLO Advanced features for up to 30 days on a single ProLiant server with firmware v 1.50 or greater.

Integrated Lights-Out solution addresses the numerous challenges that IT administrators are facing today in managing their complex IT environment. Attended, in-front-of-the-server operations have become expensive, time-consuming, and inflexible, while there is a constant demand on the IT organization to maximize uptime. Some of the common customer problems are:

• Limited IT staff versus increasing number of deployed servers.
• Increasing number of massively distributed (global) deployments.
• Servers are located at different physical locations while IT groups are centralized. Customers prefer diagnose-before-dispatch.
• Customers require standard configuration/deployment/management across all servers.
• Scalability for configuration and maintenance is important to improve the overall efficiency of IT operations
• Access and authorization to IT resources via directory services is a security requirement
• Timeliness of response to server issues and accessibility is important.
• Cost of rack-based monitors, keyboards, plus CD-ROM and diskette drives in every server.
• Increasing cabling complexity due to increasing server density.
• Security for servers located in remote sites and data centers is of increasing concern.
• Security (removable media devices increase security risk).
• Need for increasing uptime/decreasing downtime.
