What SUPERMICRO IPMI can do for you ?

The new interfaces in IPMI 1.5 facilitate the management of rack-mounted Internet servers and systems in remote environments over serial, modem and LAN connections. IPMI 1.5 also includes new capabilities to automatically alert Information Technology (IT) managers of system errors. These new capabilities, combined with the remote management functionality, allow IT managers to manage their servers and systems, regardless of system health, power state or supported communication media.  IPMI 1.5 is backward compatible with version 1.0 and includes extensions to support existing and emerging standards.
