IPMI has become a universal standard supported by a majority of hardware vendors. OpManager provides comprehensive IPMI monitoring and monitors server health in real-time. You can receive proactive alerts round-the-clock with OpManager as IPMI acts independent of the server and can be accessed at any time. OpManager also helps you monitor and manage remote servers and offers a centralized control interface.
OpManager's IPMI remote management feature helps you take control of your network in multiple locations. The Probe-Central architecture helps you to expand your network and enable monitoring of remote locations. The deployed probes discover, map and monitor the network and can also be configured to detect and troubleshoot faults. The Central server collates the data and displays the data in a unified console for complete control.
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is a remote, hardware management interface that is used to monitor and manage servers and related hardware devices. IPMI is a set of standardized specifications that provide a central monitoring interface independent of the host system's CPU, firmware and operating system.
IPMI can be used to monitor the physical parameters of hardware like system temperature, fan speed, power supply voltages, etc. IPMI software can be effectively utilized to monitor hardware temperature, power consumption, to initiate booting, shutdown server, systems and for logging. A major highlight of IPMI is that it functions independent of a server's CPU and operating system. IPMI tools can be used to manage servers in various remote locations regardless of the operating system installed as the firmware runs directly on the server motherboard. An IPMI monitoring software helps you monitor your network more effectively than the other out-of-band IPMI management methods.
