outside world. 

A network device that allows more than one 
computer to be connected as a LAN, usually using 
UTP cabling. 

A worldwide system of computer networks a 
public, cooperative, and selfsustaining network 
of networks accessible to hundreds of millions

Intelligent Platform Management Interface 
(IPMI) is a remote hardware health monitoring 
and management system that defines interfaces 
for use in monitoring the physical health of serv-
ers, such as temperature, voltage, fans, power 
supplies and chassis. It was developed by Dell, 
HP, Intel and NEC, but has now been adopted 
by more than 150 server technology and ships 
with over 70% of servers. Servers with IPMI 
functionality let network managers access and 
monitor server hardware, and diagnose and 
restore a frozen server to normal operation. 
IPMI defines the protocols for interfacing with 
a service processor embedded into a server 
platform.
