Overview
Nowadays, every company’s IT infrastructure
is getting larger and more complex. To reduce
the complexity of managing the infrastructure,
Portwell enables Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) solution in our
platform allowing out-of-band access, monitoring
and administration – an effective and efficient
way to manage your computing environment.
What is IPMI?
IPMI specification is an Intel led standard. It
defines a standardized, abstracted, messagebased
interface, which records platform
management devices and their characteristics.
With this interface, system administrators can
remotely monitor system health and manage the
system.
IPMI operates independently of either a
resource’s CPU or operating system allowing
administrators to manage a system remotely
even in the event of a device failure. This access
is cross-platform and regardless the OS used.
