Service Processor The MegaRAC® family of service processors are fully integrated PCI Host Bus Adapters that have several advanced features for “out-of-band” server management from remote locations over LAN / modem.

MegaRAC G2 Second-generation MegaRAC is a completely system independent service processor & remote management controller that improves IT budgets & reduces downtime for any mission-critical server • Advanced video redirection - 700+ percent faster than competitors • Security features: - Secured Socket Layer (SSL) v3 - remote access is flexible & 100 percent secured - Watchdog mechanism - system independent feature monitors the system’s heartbeat & reports a complete analysis - Auto Server Recovery (ASR) reduces server downtime • Custom-designed G2 Management Station: - Windows NT, 2000 & XP based - Centralized event & trap database • Administrator notification of critical events via pager, email, SNMP trap & Management Station • Full text, graphics console redirection for complete remote server control • Virtual (remote) boot allows remote maintenance & diagnostics • Plugs into any PCI slot • Out-of-band FTP support for fixing corrupted files • Ethernet & modem support for out-of-band connectivity (modem not included for channel; modem support only) • MegaRAC G2 OEM-only features: - Server health monitoring - Optional battery backup keeps MegaRAC operational even when server power supply has failed MegaRAC G2 Lite Mid-range, lower-cost service processor is ideal for customers who do not need or want all of the MegaRAC G2 features, such as modem, video & optional battery backup support. The Lite is also a match for customers whose requirements do not allow additional PCI plug-in cards.

A failed server can cost a small business $75,000+ a year (Strategic Research). To avoid failures or intervene quickly when a server stops functioning, servers can be managed from a centralized location. Downtime can be minimized & technical support staff costs can be drastically reduced. Remote Management is the ability to remotely maintain a system, often associated with remote control applications that allow remote login or application control. In a high availability or server application, it is extended to controlling the system even when the OS is not responding. In extreme cases, remote management solutions need the ability to control the system before the OS loads. A Chicago-based systems manager can have full control & perform system maintenance anywhere in the world...even when the OS is down or the BIOS doesn’t boot. The G2 is an OS-independent, complete out-of-band solution for mission critical servers. It implements a unique system independent watchdog mechanism that monitors the heartbeat of the system & reports a complete analysis. The administrator can check if the system is normal, overloaded, extremely overloaded or dead.

MegaRAC G2 software promotes easy integration with other management products, adding value to the user’s overall management investment
