Looks like you have a potentially great business for corporate compliance, if you can answer with plausibly high confidence (or indemnify?).

I only occasionally research companies, and it's from an engineering&product perspective, aside from corporate ownership compliance. (For example, I was asked to vet a little-known company as a prospective partner, for building our cloud infrastructure atop theirs. One of the first rapid low-cost, high-value things I could do, besides looking at their docs and trying their demos, was to skim through the history of business news about them.)

I wonder if there's a form-factor that looks like an ATX expansion slot (perhaps dual slot) type system with PoE powering it and all the electronics on a PCI-card form-factor. Then the whole thing can all fit on the case neatly, and we just have to plug in from the case to the case and run two Ethernet instead of one.

EDIT: Anything I can think of, China has already built https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/kvm/NanoKVM_PCIe/introdu...

Amazing

I think products like JetKVM are targeting hobbyists and small outfits; corporations who aren't on a public cloud are using stuff like idrac, ilo, or dedicated rackmount KVM hardware.

Thanks, needed a good laugh.

Putting a BMC or KVM on the Internet is hilariously unwise.

No need worry about dodgy remote desktop software — the attackers will be able to back door the firmware!

(Yes, iLO verifies firmware signatures… but yes they’ve had horrific vulnerabilities, worse than nightmares).

The cynic in me wonders how remote access software companies are NOT in bed with governments and organized crime. Wouldn’t it just be too lucrative?

Sure, these entities may not care about YOU. But YOU provide a means of free computing power, internet connection — the means for proxying cyber attacks.

If you want to feature a governance structure infamously hard to get right and impressive to use as an demo, IKEA/Ingka would be an good example.

Good idea! I picked a random California Ikea entity (IKEA US RETAIL LLC) and ran it through the system. Here's the output - current goal is to get to ultimate parent.

## Summary IKEA US RETAIL LLC is a limited liability company. It is wholly owned by IKEA Holding U.S., Inc., and ultimately controlled by Stichting INGKA Foundation, a Dutch foundation that owns Ingka Group.

Yes - but a bolt-on solution for nearly any motherboard with an extra PCIe or NVMe slot.

I’ve seen raspberry pi based kvms that do just this - draw power from PCI to operate. Except they still usually require a cable to HDMI/USB ports on the computer. I suspect you’d like to have the whole thing to be on card without cables. Example: https://geekworm.com/collections/pikvm (but I think this still requires separate power) To do this, wouldn’t you effectively need to make a graphics card (VGA would work) wh…

I have a desktop that I'm using as a server box, I'd like to avoid plugging in a GPU just to change BIOS options or debug a boot failure

Interesting. That's actually where we started. We were doing automated research on vendors from a TPRM perspective and looking for data points around organizational security / reputation. Examples - if the company had been hacked before / how they responded, do they have a CISO, nth party vendors, are they SOC2 / FedRAMP certified, etc. Basically, predictors of risk / stability.

We realized the underlying business graph was the bottleneck though, so that's been our focus for some time. With that in place, we're now coming full circle on the risk research standpoint.

On your comment about confidence / liability, we're actually having conversations around that now and getting feedback. First step is exposing all the research and evidence directly to build trust, which is what we're doing now for the new corporate hierarchy system.
