for some of my remote customers, as well as my own office, i'm looking for an out-of-band management solution that's cheaper than iLO or DRAC. remote power management would be nice, but network KVM is a must. i read about intel vpro / amt recently and just started looking into it; it seems to be baked into most of their q-series chipsets.
has anyone here successfully used the intel solution for KVM or anything else? how about unsuccessfully? having something baked into the chipset makes me worry about compatibility with openbsd, as i'm not sure just how transparent/non-invasive it is. reports either way would be appreciated - as would another usable solution.
