KVM over IP switch with iLO5 user experience graphic console

I am  looking for KVM over IP switch with iLO5 user experience (meaning when we use graphich console it works from user expeirence view like iLO5). Switch itself needs to be able to attach servers without iLO over USB for Keyboard&Mouse, as well as to attach serial devices. 

HPE has how G4 

HPE 1x2x16 G4 KVM IP Console Switch Q1P55A

but also these 

HPE 0x2x16 KVM Server Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media CAC Software AF618A

or

HPE 2x1Ex16 KVM IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media CAC Software AF621A

So I am not quite sure what HPE will keep in next 3-5 years and what is correlation between these switches? 

Also, HPE probably OEM-ing these. What is original brand? 

And which from these will work for remote management like iLO5 when we are using graphich console ?
