HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 2), the fourth generation of Lights-Out remote management, delivers industry-leading remote control for ProLiant servers. iLO 2 is an intelligent management processor and firmware integrated on most ProLiant servers. iLO 2 Standard enables essential remote control and management capabilities as standard features on ProLiant ML and DL servers.
With iLO 2 Standard, you can perform basic system administration tasks remotely as if you were at the server regardless of the server's operating condition. It also enables anytime access to system management information. Basic remote control of a server's serial console, power and unit identification LEDs can reduce the need for onsite assistance to support ProLiant servers. Also, with comprehensive data encryption and the ability to isolate iLO traffic on VLAN or dedicated management networks, you can enable these powerful remote control tools with the confidence that your IT assets are protected.
For more advanced Lights-Out Management of ProLiant servers, two optional licensed upgrades are available. iLO Select Packs and iLO Advanced Packs provide optional upgrades for environments requiring full Lights-Out management capabilities to achieve total remote control without compromise.
