Hi folks,
I'm a huge fan of demanding complete control over a remote cluster node via a serial console device or embedded management processor. Most of my recent experience though is with Sun ILOM system processors and the like.
I'm currently looking at a whitebox server vendor and the remote management technology they propose is a Super Micro IPMI add-on card, apparently from this family of products: http://www.supermicro.com/ products/accessories/addon/SIM.cfm
My needs are pretty minimal -- remote power control. BIOS access and the ability to trigger a PXE boot off the network. Anything else is just supplemental.
Does anyone have any experience/impressions of the "Supermicro Intelligent Management" stuff?
