      Two of my co-workers don't know what iDrac is. They are network administrators.

      If they only ever used IBM gear, that could make sense. IBM calls it something else.

      Now - Network Admins don't necessarily do anything with servers, but instead they work on the 'network'

      They haven't. Didn't know iDrac or iLo. No IBM experience

      Wat! ?

      It's not even a judgment from me because there is a lot I don't know that I should. I just thought they would know it is all

      I can't imagine anyone not using iDrac/iLo/ipmi.

      I can very easily. If you're a one man shop, and your servers sit 10 feet from you, you have little need for that.

      That's even more reason to know and use it! Makes so you can take a vacation and actually fix s*** when it breaks while the 1 person is away.

      Yup, the more it seems like you don't need it, the more you do!

        I can very easily. If you're a one man shop, and your servers sit 10 feet from you, you have little need for that.

        Unless you have more than one and don't want banks of monitors and keyboards, or you ever need to access it from home, take a vacation, be home sick, work remotely, let someone else assist, need to work from another office, etc.

        I've realistically never worked at a company where iDRAC didn't make sense. It's one of those penny wise, pound foolish things. It seems like you don't need it, but you always do. The problem, like virtualization and other tech, is that it might have almost zero value on day one, but lacking it will likely bite you big time sometime in the lifespan of the server.

        We see this with virtualization all the time. Look at threads of people with physical servers, they have great "logic" as to why it doesn't apply to them, in a thread where their entire problem wouldn't exist had they virtualized.

        yeah, I'll give you that.

          @Dashrender On the MSP side we see it a lot "What's it going to cost to do this trivial 15 minute task for us?"

          Well, if you have iDRAC, it'll be 15 minutes of billable time. If you don't, it'll be three hours of billable time.

            yes, I definitely get it. I was just giving a reason why one would never have seen it. I didn't consider buying it 11 years ago when I was getting servers - today, yeah, the cost is nothing compared to the inconvenience - Not to mention the fact that you can mount nearly unlimited sized ISOs using iDRAC, and with DVDs, there's a definite limit.

                    I really want to show this movie to my girls. After seeing the way that my 5 year old daughter reacted to Hidden Figures I want to encourage her to explore what it means to be a strong woman in her way, not what society (right or left) would say.
