Management modules to
integrate Intel interface
Intel and Avocent are working together to incorporate Intel's Advanced Server Management Interface (ASMI) specification into Avocent's family of next generation remote server management modules
ASMI provides system developers with a more flexible approach to building server management by standardising the physical connector interface. Designed to work with the Intel ESB2M/E/V chipset components, Avocent's remote server management modules enable server control from virtually anywhere, anytime.

Agilent to divest remote management business
Avocent Corp and Agilent Technologies have signed an agreement for Avocent to purchase assets and to license technology used by Agilent in its remote management business
Avocent chose to integrate Intel's ASMI connector into its products because it allows server management cards to connect directly to the server motherboard rather than using a PCI slot.
ASMI provides flexibility for modular card designs and it is being integrated by many server manufacturers.
ASMI supports KVM and media redirection over IP as well as other higher-level management standards such as the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and the Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF) Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) initiative.
Avocent is demonstrating a beta version of the eVP1000, the company's next generation remote server management module, this week at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
'Intel's ASMI connector is ideal for our embedded server management products, as it will enable a standard connector for remote access cards', said Mark Lee, Senior Vice President, Avocent Manageability Solutions (AMS) group at Avocent.
'The inclusion of ASMI within Avocent's embedded virtual presence infrastructure (eVPI) will help improve the reliability and serviceability of Intel and other server platforms'.
'We are pleased that Avocent chose to use Intel's ASMI technology in their next-generation embedded products', said Hemant Dhulla, General Manager, Manageability and Platform Software Division at Intel.
'With Avocent's support for the ASMI connector coupled with OEM platforms, we are collectively simplifying advanced server management for our customers'.
