NOC-PS is fine and really cheap. You have full access to the API and can develop all required functions and can also process VMs.
Currently nothing in this prices which can beat it.
Es long as they bring more profit than eats money for energy consumption it will be bought.
Currently you get on ebay DL380 G6 with 2x L5520 and some other stuff for around 300 to 400€. This is nothing for this compute power and features. Add a 10G NIC and 64 or 128GB RAM to this nodes and you...
As i written above, non HP disks create money trouble in HP servers because raid controller and backplane cannot read the data like the temperature from the disk. They only work probably with HP disks. FANs are managed from the system controller and cannot be reduced or controlled manually...
Stay away from add non HP disks into HP servers. Other drives can cause issues like FANs at 100% or failure detection on hard drives which do not have issues. HP backplane and raid controller can also not read the temperature correctly from non HP drives, so temperature control doesn't work...

All supermicro IPMI devices should be in an internal network with VPN access. There are lot's of exploits and metasploit plugins for serval versions of IPMI firmwares from supermicro. Most of them don't get any patches.
Thus, it is really dangerous. Protect it with an internal network.

Proxmox offers an API for that, but anyone must build it :) Something for...

2x Haproxy VMs + virtual ip with VRRP
3x Percona MySQL Cluster VMs
3x or more nginx webservers
Build a haproxy master+slave setup with a virtual ip and VRRP. Create a MySQL master+master with percona and create a haproxy zone for your mysql...
