Manage software across heterogeneous systems
The Intelligent Platform Management Initiative (IPMI) is an 
open hardware-management interface that uses a standardized 
message-passing interface. IPMI helps enable management 
software interoperability in a heterogeneous hardware 
environment.
The Intel E7520 and Intel E7320 chipsets include an SMBus port
that supports multiple third-party base management controller
(BMC) and firmware solutions. Support for multiple third-party 
solutions not only provides flexibility and customer choice, it also
represents a significant advancement in management software 
interoperability, greatly simplifying system management.
IPMI helps enable management software that works across 
heterogeneous server system hardware via:
• Instrumentation in server motherboard hardware
• Standards-based architecture for systems and 
asset management 
• Interoperability between hardware and software management
• Increased reliability through a hierarchy of sensors that report
alerts to remote consoles
• Common architecture that applies to the 3-tier server 
architecture prevalent in modern datacenters
• Reduction in the TCO and administration with the use of 
common software user interfaces across multiple servers 
from multiple vendors
