Intergrated light out : HP proliant

HP proliant servers come up with an interesting remote management tool : iLO

The inbuilt one is the basic iLO which is a crippled version of advanced iLO. Basic iLO does not have many feature such as remotely viewing the screen and mounting remote media.

You need to purchase a license for the Advance iLO. As an option you may get a free evaluation licence for 60 days.

One of the disadvantages I observed in iLO is that its screen is not very sensitive. That means it cannot recognize if you move the mouse fast across the screen
