Description

Efficiently oversee and control your servers with a range of Intel® server management tools and firmware designed to notify users of potential issues, help maintain up-to-date firmware, and keep track of power and thermal conditions within the data center. Gain complete server management capabilities through the use of a virtual keyboard, video, mouse (KVM), and virtual media redirection. At the heart of this system is a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), a dedicated microcontroller located on the server's motherboard, equipped with features and northbound interfaces that enable users to monitor and manage their servers using custom management software, established solutions like Intel® Data Center Manager and Intel® Server Utilities, or third-party applications. The platform also offers comprehensive Redfish schemas for managing and updating firmware while keeping an organized asset inventory. Additionally, it fully supports legacy protocols like IPMI, SNMP, and SMTP, with IPMI ensuring 2.0 compliance and incorporating several extra OEM commands for enhanced functionality. This robust infrastructure ensures that users have a reliable and detailed way to maintain optimal server performance.

Description

xCAT, or Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit, is a versatile open-source solution aimed at streamlining the deployment, scaling, and oversight of both bare metal servers and virtual machines. It delivers extensive management functionalities tailored for environments such as high-performance computing clusters, render farms, grids, web farms, online gaming infrastructures, cloud setups, and data centers. Built on a foundation of established system administration practices, xCAT offers a flexible framework that allows system administrators to identify hardware servers, perform remote management tasks, deploy operating systems on physical or virtual machines in both disk and diskless configurations, set up and manage user applications, and execute parallel system management operations. This toolkit is compatible with a range of operating systems, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, and CentOS, as well as architectures such as ppc64le, x86_64, and ppc64. Moreover, it supports various management protocols, including IPMI, HMC, FSP, and OpenBMC, which enable seamless remote console access. In addition to its core functionalities, xCAT's extensible nature allows for ongoing enhancements and adaptations to meet the evolving needs of modern IT infrastructures.
