Opinions on it's quality vary. But for the SSH bit of iLO, I just logged into one of our servers. It has an SSH interface. The iLO command line is a bit odd, but usable. So remotely power cycling or marking a server from a Unix box is doable. IIRC you can even load your own key file via the web interface and henceforth log in automagically without interactively entering a password.
