DRAC4 Remote server managment

These remote management boards are great, allowing for full remote control of the host server via ethernet, I will list some pro's and con's of the DRAC4 board:

Pro's:

- Can be used to turn the system on and off (forcibly if needed).
- Can emulate a virtual floppy drive or cdrom from image or captured drive for remote installation of software or os.
- Can monitor and log events.
- Uses a separate ethernet port so it can be independent from the host network.
- Can be accessed in a webpage environment.
- Easy to install, no tooling required.
- Lets you access the host server at bios level.
- Is not os dependent and can run under any os and non if needed.

Con's:

- Uses older browser standards.
- Uses older Java 5 standards.
- Not able to use DVD images as the virtual drive.

Would be nice if there was an updated application/utility to access the device as these servers are still used even though they are aged.
