We use the small opengears for small sites acm5500 for ethernet and seria=
l.
Used to use cisco 25xx 26xx but those are long in the tooth and not
fast. stopped using avocent because of the value proposition.
I have experimented with raspberry pi for smaller oob server (with
appropriate usb serial breakout ) e.g. digi edgeport box for 8 serials
or ftdi usb serial adapters rather tha stand-alone pc which is what we
use for larger oob/utility server/router. it's considerably smaller than
the rackable equivalent.
