HP MicroServer Gen8: Difference between revisions

 There is a lot of evidence that HP purposely "de-tuned" this device to match its small stature so it didn't make the larger servers HP sells look bad.  Very disappointing they let the bean counters make decisions on this device.
+Now having said all of those things about HP, I'll say something nice that continues to support my theory of HP hobbling their microservers.  The Gen8 version of the server has the iLO feature (Lights Out).  This is equivalent to a Dell DRAC (Dell Remote Access Controller) and provides full remote access to the server, including a remote GUI console.  For those not familiar with the feature, it's like having VNC control from when the server is first booted, giving one the ability to fully control the computer before windows has booted.  It also includes the ability to remotely power cycle the hardware and do some BIOS configuration via a Web GUI.  Sadly they took that feature away in the Gen9 version of the microserver, which seems par for the course in terms of HP purposely hobbling this series of servers.
