Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager

Sun Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) is the leading Service Processor (SP) architecture available across both Sun x64 and Sun Cool Threads SPARC servers, Sun Server blades and blade chassis. Drawing on and leveraging Sun's extensive experience in managing and monitoring systems in enterprise environments, ILOM delivers fully featured rich control of the systems, locally and remotely, ensuring there is a powerful management and monitoring solution to meet the diverse requirements of all data center users. A complete implementation of ILOM is included at no additional cost with all ILOM-based systems. Everything is standard.
