Remotely HP iLO Advanced Pack unlocks the full potential of ProLiant Onboard Administrator. Just enter a license key and gain precise remote control of your ProLiant server from anywhere.

With HP iLO Advanced, you can fully diagnose server problems without leaving your desk. With a full graphical view of your server, automatic video recording, and team collaboration capabilities, iLO Advanced eliminates unnecessary travel expenses and accelerates recovery from unplanned server outages. Do any of these comments sound familiar?


"I need to see what's going on at the remote server, no matter what state the server's operating system is in."

HP iLO Advanced Pack lets you see exactly what's happening with a monitor view of your remote server from wherever you are, whether the operating system is up or down.

"I have multiple server experts in various locations worldwide, and none of them are in the same location as a server that needs their attention."

HP iLO Advanced Pack allows up to four server experts to intelligently work together on an iLO session to troubleshoot a remote server, regardless of their physical locations.

"How can my team know what caused a serious server event if they weren't there to witness it?"

HP iLO Advanced Pack can automatically capture video footage of the last server event that occurred on your remote server, so that you can use video data to troubleshoot any issue.

And there are even more ways that iLO Advanced Pack saves you time and money.
  • Get new operating systems, patches, or critical virus updates to your remote server with virtual media and virtual folders to deploy any file or image.
  • Compliment your Microsoft Terminal Services remote access with added security from iLO, and graphical access regardless of your server's OS availability.
  • Don't waste time recreating user information - role, rights, passwords; instead, use your existing infrastructure to assign access to iLO.
