You will find on that site a collection of resources for the IBM KVM solution (which they have OEM-ed from Avocent) including sales and marketing presentations, software, firmware and documentation.

Click HERE to go there now.   And if you type www.partnerpages.info/hp or www.partnerpages.info/dell instead of www.partnerpages.info/ibm you will find the other manufacturers 'special' partner page.   This website is still kinda under construction I think.

Recently RDM 4.30 was released and as fanatic as we are we've installed and tested it.

For now my conclusion is to stay at version 4.20.3.

Afgelopen week met het Benelux System x team naar Leuven toegegaan om daar o.a. op Quads of in een Buggy te rijden.  Jammer dat het weer niet helemaal meewerkte...
