iRIS remote management from BVM lowers remote system costs

With embedded intelligence proliferating rapidly in all sorts of applications, the ability to control and manage physically remote systems from a central location is a distinct advantage. iRIS is very powerful; trials have shown that over 80 per cent of problems with remote systems can be resolved over a network, and if an engineer does have to attend site, the diagnostic and logging capability of iRIS reduce the on-site time required, typically by more than 15 per cent.

The iRIS card is independent powered from the 5V standby line, so it allows managing power on/off of unresponsive systems through an embedded WAN or separate Wi-Fi connection, without any need to go into the operating system (OS) or login shell to implement remote control. Operators have access to numerous remote functions: BIOS update, OS recovery, hardware monitoring and fan and power control, KVM + One Key Recovery and remote out-off-band backup. Installed application software can be updated and the OS can be recovered or re-installed.

Multiple system alert channels are provided, via email, SMS and direct to the management server. In addition, video streaming record and Event Trigger Setting and video record give operators a real-time activity view. iRIS is IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), 2.0 compliant and 3.0 ready for IPv6 support. Direct and open LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is enabled.
