The NEC EXPRESSSCOPE Engine untangles the complexity of your remote server management.
The NEC Express5800/100 Series and SIGMABLADE servers employ the EXPRESSSCOPE Engine, a chipset integrating a Baseboard Management Controller function, to provide extensive remote management functionality-from monitoring the health of remote server components, such as CPUs, memory, and cooling fans, to remotely operating the servers, regardless of power and operating system status.
In addition to server price reductions and improved ease of installation, widespread use of the Internet has fueled the growth in Web-based services in recent years, making it common to deploy multiple servers at a departmental, divisional, and even workgroup level. Delivering a wide range of remote management functions to break through the complexity of managing physically distributed servers, the EXPRESSSCOPE Engine allows system administrators to perform monitoring and maintenance activities with greater ease.
The EXPRESSSCOPE Engine offers the following three major functions:
The remote server status is available to view on the local screen of a management PC. Not only are general event logs collected from the operating system, but the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) logs are also collected by the EXPRESSSCOPE Engine for remote analysis and diagnosis.
Administrators can remotely power on/off and reboot servers from the management PC. In the event of a failure, they can remotely perform remedial tasks on a failed server, without being physically in front of it.
The EXPRESSSCOPE Engine provides access to remote keyboards, displays and monitors, and allows the servers to access the storage media on the management PC as if it were directly connected to the servers.Remote Management Solution for NEC Express5800 Server
