ASPEED BMC is a specialized processor with 2D graphic and logic control features that is used to remotely monitor and manage host systems. It is located on the motherboard of computers, servers, networks, and storage devices. BMC can be accessed remotely via dedicated or shared networks and has multiple connections to the host system, allowing it to monitor hardware via sensors, flash BIOS/UEFI, provide host access via serial or physical/virtual KVM Console, and power cycle to record host and log events. BMC SoC helps to save time and manpower. Administrators no longer require to check each server in the rack physically an still can perform maintenance. As a result, all servers and other data center equipment (such as switches, storage, power supplies, and so on) now have BMCs.
