Howdy folks.
We've got a bit of money to spend before budget year-end, and I thought it might be nice to finally do something more orderly about remote console access to some of our servers. (Right now, we have some systems with ILOM/ALOM, some on small local-only KVM, and some with no remote management capability at all.)
We're looking at probably a couple 8-port units for a couple different racks. We're somewhat concerned about costs, of course, but want something reasonable in terms of features. (E.g. remote authentication through various means like RADIUS & AD would be nice.)
Anyone with experience with particular brands of IP-accessible KVM's? Any recommendations on what to get? What to avoid? ;) (Canadian supplier would be preferred.)
