They've supported a lot more than that for a very long time. The BMCs on both my ThinkServer TD340 and ProLiant ML10 support remote KVM access, CD/DVD emulation (mount a local .iso as a virtual drive on the server), firmware updates, and quite a bit more.
On top of that, I should note they do this without assistance of the Intel ME. The remote KVM access is handled through a video adapter embedded in the BMC.
- forapurpose 9y agoI agree but those are servers, where the extra investment is worthwhile (server outages cost much more than a user desktop) and market demand is driven by people like you and me. I was talking about end-user desktops and laptops.
