Server remote management is a necessity for IT organizations of all sizes today as they strive to meet business demands for efficiency and responsiveness. HP has a long record of undisputed leadership in lights-out remote management with Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), an intelligent management processor integrated on most ProLiant servers.
HP remote management gives you virtual presence, i.e. complete control as if you were in front of servers in datacenters or remote sites. This means you are always in control regardless of server status or location. ILO delivers unique remote management simplicity and agility that lowers operational costs, improves IT productivity and increases system availability.
iLO is available in two forms, iLO Standard and iLO Advanced. iLO Standard provides basic system board management functions, diagnostics and essential Lights-Out functionality as standard features on iLO supported ProLiant servers. iLO Advanced provides remote administration functionality as a licensed option.
