Yes.

They are great. Especially the virtual power button for a misbehaving
windows server. I try to get them installed (if not already) in all HP
servers. Speaking comparitively, RILOs and ILOs beat Dell's DRAC hands
down. But the last time I tried using DRACs with a Dell was a few
years ago (circa 2006 or 2007).

If all you want is remote administration, without a need for the
advanced function such as virtual power buttons, go with a VPN and use
RDP from a jump box. But I highly recommend the ILO boards.

As far as security, I don't ever recall trying to break in to the
board so nothing stands out [perhaps someone else can help here]. As a
whole, I believe the system is about as secure as the LAN segment on
which they exist. Don't allow configurations that put ILO boards on
the internet, access through VPN from a jump box, etc.
