Innovative Solution for Service Processor Management
The MergePoint 5224/5240 service processor (SP) managers simplify management of servers
with SP technologies by consolidating IP connections, user access and server health
information. With multiple Ethernet ports, the MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances connect
point-to-point with Ethernet-based service processors, such as HP® Integrated Lights-Out (iLO),
Intelligent Platform Management Interface
(IPMI, versions 1.5 and 2.0), Dell® Remote
Access Card (DRAC), IBM® Remote
Supervisor Adapter II (RSA II) and Sun®
Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM).
By consolidating SP Ethernet ports, the
MergePoint 5224/5240 SP managers
require only one external IP address and
Ethernet switch port for all connected
devices, significantly reducing deployment
costs associated with SPs. By isolating
and protecting the connected SPs from
the external production network, the
MergePoint 5224/5240 appliances provide
secure and efficient rack-level management
with seamless integration into the
management infrastructure.
As part of the MergePoint 5200 series of
SP managers, the MergePoint 5224/5240
appliances provide secure Serial over LAN
(SoL), power control, hardware monitoring
and the new DirectCommand feature,
which enables transparent, secure access
to the SP’s native interface. When used in
conjunction with DSView 3 management
software, the MergePoint 5224/5240
appliances provide essential server
coverage, which complements the overall
management infrastructure.
