I have had experience with using Dell DRAC cards in servers since 2003, but the feature has been available since 2001. HP iLo has been available since at least 2002, and has been standard in their enterprise servers since 2006. So these types of features have been available for nearly 10 years.

So older kit is 5+ year old systems. Alternatively you will run into issues with systems built with non-enterprise class processors/boards within the past 5 years.
such as, as I noted, laptops -- my laptop, less than 15 months old is such. Some people actually DEVELOP on laptops. I decline to pay a premium for some vendor's pricing discrimination goals ;)
