iLO is HP's name for their range of BMCs, as DRAC/iDRAC are Dell terms.
None of these from any company are things I would put anywhere other
than a separate restricted-access management network. I usually ssh
through a jump host to reach them and don't give them direct internet
access in either direction.
Your 'friendly local reseller' is wrong, current supermicro BMCs have
HTML5 web console, though I usually just configure IPMI serial-over-lan
and access them that way (normally front-ended by conserver running on
the jump host).
