IPMI V2.0 simplifies server mgmt

摘要

The need to reduce the complexity of IT infrastructure management remains a priority on every IT manager's agenda. One of the most prominent open standards addressing that need, Intelligent Platform Management Interface, has been adopted by more than 150 server technology vendors to provide remote access, monitoring and administration for servers and other hardware assets. Version 2.0 of the IPMI specification is now supported on many rack-optimized servers and blade computing platforms. Servers with IPMI functionality let network administrators access and monitor server hardware, and diagnose and restore a frozen server to normal operations.
