I love using remote management for my home lab
I've come to love and appreciate using remote management tools such as Lenovo's xClarity.
Building out a home lab requires one to take advantage of various features not typically available to (or used by) consumers. This includes hardware RAID, super-fast link-aggregated networking, remote management, virtualisation, and more. If I had to pick one feature that would be my highlight with managing my home lab as I build it out, it's hardware-based remote management. I'm not talking software running on a server and your client, but a hardware-level tool that can run even when the host is offline. A few are available, including Lenovo xClarity, Dell iDRAC, and HP iLO.
