Much copied from Adam Sweet's wiki on IPMI.
What is IPMI?
IPMI is standard which allows remote server management, primarily developed by Intel. IPMI cards, known as Baseboard Management Cards (BMCs) are primitive computers in their own right and are operational all the time, so long as the server has a power source.
