Why don't you call your Congresscritter and Senator, and tell them you personally want to donate the money to replace everything we have that doesn't have IPMI, and pay for the time install and cable it all up? That would be *great*... of course, some of our latest servers have 48 cores, and we just got some 64 core servers, so it might cost you a pretty penny....
Oh, yes, and then there's the official requirement that I be here during business hours.
I have to apolgise here Dear Mark.
Your country has placed so may restrictions on "exports" that even India (a de-facto nuclear power) does not have the privilege of having such hardware. Even "Redhat" is afraid.
That said, I have had situation in IDC's where I have managed about 45 Rack servers and 10 Blades -- all (then) Sun X and V servers from ground (tile floor up) for an App that is designed to tun on "only" those servers. I know the enormous difficulties the customer faced, and I had to help them justify.
So let us just chill.
