DSI5100-001: Avocent IPMI Proxy appliance-(Avocent:DSI5100-001)

Features and Benefits

Power management is a significant benefit to accessing Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) ?C Avocent OSA technology embedded in servers for remote out-of-band access to sensors on target devices. IT administrators also can monitor and control system health including the temperature, fan, and voltage.

With power and system health monitoring now internal on IPMI-enabled servers, you can know exactly which server needs attention. Because IPMI data is stored on a stand-alone processor independent of the OS, BIOS and CPU, you can use IPMI even when the operating system is unresponsive. With out-of-band remote access the DSI5100 IPMI proxy appliance is another way Avocent helps you manage your entire IT infrastructure.
