| Q3. |
Is HP going to deliver full iLO 2 capabilities on ProLiant 100 Series servers? |
| A3. |
Lights-Out 100 is intended to provide basic remote control and management for ProLiant 100 Series servers at economical prices. While LO100i and the LO100c Remote Management Card (RMC) provide some overlapping functionality, they are essentially standards-based (IPMI and SMASH) very competitive offerings. iLO 2 will continue to provide a comprehensive suite of advanced, industry-leading functionality for the more demanding remote management environments of ProLiant 300 and 500 series servers as well as ProLiant BL servers, therefore iLO 2 will always be the premier remote management HP offering.
