Remote Console for "appliance" with no remote console

Hi,

all our servers have iLO (or the Supermicro equivalent).

Now, I am looking at an appliance that is basically just a PC (because the vendor really wants you to license their VMs). But for various reasons, I do need hardware.

They have SKUs with iDRAC - but they are very, very much more expensive and just overkill for us.

So, I'm looking into what seems to be "KVMs-over-IP".

Does anybody have an idea which ones are good? I need SSL, authentication (of course), maybe LDAP-authentication at some point.

I assume, there's no easy full replacement for iLO that also includes remote power-reset?
