Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) Advanced, provides comprehensive Lights-Out remote management capabilities for ProLiant servers. iLO 2 Advanced gives you the freedom to enable full remote control of your ProLiant servers without compromise for routine and emergency situations. Everything you can do if you are physically at the server, you can do remotely anytime regardless of server or operating system condition.
With dramatic new remote console performance improvements, iLO 2 is not just a tool of last resort for emergencies. It is also suitable for day-to-day routine administration giving you a single tool for any occasion. iLO 2 Advanced extends iLO 2 Standard capabilities with full remote control of system KVM (remote console) regardless of server status and the ability to remotely update server software and firmware over a network. iLO 2 Advanced also allows you to secure your remote management environment with enterprise security.
iLO 2 Advanced is available on new generation HP ProLiant ML/DL 300 and 500 Series servers by purchasing the HP ProLiant Essentials Integrated Lights-Out Advanced Pack, Insight Control Environment Pack or iLO Power Management Pack. The Advanced Pack provides a license key to activate powerful remote management features to remotely deploy, troubleshoot and maintain ProLiant servers anywhere, anytime from a standard web browser, command line or script.
