Ipmi

The IPMI Device Driver allows Iotellect Server to communicate with devices supporting IPMI Protocol. These devices may be connected to the system and, like with all other types of devices, their data is converted into a unified form, so they can be accessed from different Iotellect facilities. See Devices article for more information about the "normalized" representation of devices in Iotellect.
