First things first. Many servers nowadays have this functionality built-in to their iLOM or DRAC (dell). In lots of cases, these features are a few extra bucks at the time of server purchase... Due to the funamentally difficult nature of taking a DVI or VGA output and converting it into something remotely (and securely) accessible, and the very low quantity of such devices that would be sold, and the pressure on that tiny market resulting from having solutions built-in to iLOM ports... There are very few (if any) such products. Basically the industry has gone toward ILOM as the solution. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
