3. RIMCenter
• Software-only solution that replaces the need
for expensive & proprietary out-of-band
management tools such as KVM, iLo, iDRAC,
IMM or the switchable PDU’s
• Systems administrators easily get secure
power control and access to their servers –
anytime, anywhere
• Leverage the server’s built-in baseboard
management controller (BMC) to Power-up,
Power-down or “hard boot” servers – without
additional hardware
• Monitor and interact with BIOS throughout the
server boot process
• Includes optional server agent to remotely
configure the server’s BMC and get Windows
session 0 console access.

4. Problems With Existing Access Solutions
• Legacy KVM/IP & iPDU appliances
– Expensive: Up to $ 400-500 per Server
– Consume critical power, space, cooling
– Requires HW installation, cabling, set-up
– Dongles
• Proprietary Remote Management
(HP iLo, Dell DRAC, IBM RSA)
– Expensive. Advanced licenses required
– Doesn’t scale heterogeneously
– Typically “one-to-one’ versus “one–to-many”
• Direct Physical Access
– Requires people and ready access
– Doesn’t scale
– Slow response time and error prone

controller (BMC)
