APPRO ServerDome Provides XtremeServer Management

The APPRO ServerDome provides remote server management for the APPRO 1U and 3U XtremeServers. Appro ServerDome connects to XtremeServers via baseboard management controller providing remote management software that automates and simplifies IT and networking tasks while lets the system administrator deploy, configure, manage and maintain up to thousands of servers. The ServerDome Remote management is IPMI 2.0 compliant and works with either Windows or Linux.

Features:

Status Summary
ServerDome software is easy to set up and manage. Red, yellow and green lights indicate the health of your servers. This management tool lets you drill down into your hardware subsystems to check the status of each server.

Failure Notifications
Send a customized e-mail that alerts specified individuals when operating conditions exceed predefined thresholds.

Remote Management capability
Provides in-band-and out-of-band remote management capabilities. If a node falters or stops functioning, the system administrator is able to locally or remotely power up another node for load balancing.

Platform Monitoring
Thermal sensors continuously monitor system temperatures, fan-fail, over-temperature and voltage. The Power Status shows which servers are on and off. The Power Delay allows users to configure the sequence that power is turned on or off for each server in a cluster. This helps avoid power in-rush at start-up and allows users to predetermine which server will be turned on first.

Configuration and Server Admin
Remote Server Admin tools let you configure and monitor all key services of the XtremeServers— locally or remotely. If you prefer using a terminal window, Server Admin provides extensive command line tools to configure, monitor and manage your systems remotely. Shell scripts can easily be built for customer management needs. If network services are down, ServerDome Admin tool is equipped with a serial port that lets administrators access the system through a serial console session.

Optional Provisioning Manager
Using Appro’s optional Provisioning Manager, you can rapidly, reliably, and remotely deploy operating systems, applications, patches, and more across all servers simultaneously – saving hours of administrative time and reducing human error. Appro’s powerful provisioning management capabilities allow you to implement, configure, or repurpose large numbers of servers, quickly, easily, and with consistent results.

Appro ServerDome Management is the latest innovation in Appro’s XtremeServers Architecture. It delivers server management functions, reduces IT complexity, improves administration efficiency while lowering the total cost of ownership.
