 Alteeve Wiki :: IPMI

IPMI is an acronym for Intelligent Platform Management Interface. This is a technology built into many server-grade mainboards, sometimes via an optional add-in card, that allows "out of band" access to a server. This means that, via an IPMI interface, a user can remotely connect to a server regardless of it's power state. Through this interface the user can check the power state of the server plus one or more of it's sensors. The user can initiate a reboot, power off, power on and so forth.

IPMI is used as the basis of numerous OEM remote access technologies. To learn more, please see the wikipedia entry.
