Many IT departments today are actively looking for methods to cut their operating costs as budgets are shrinking. A robust centralized management scheme allows an IT department to do just that- taking advantage of a unified way to view and control their mission critical servers. This eliminates the discomfort and hassle of cross-platform management. When servers are equipped with MegaRAC cards and management software, IT administrators can manage them in a unified way, irrespective of the hardware architecture or OS. As a result, operating costs involved with training and expert personnel are significantly reduced.

In addition to cross-platform management, MegaRAC ES1500 provides remote access and control of servers to increase server uptime and reduce operating costs.
