Software

Compaq Intelligent Rack Manager Lite software is a Java-based application that runs a web server. Intelligent Rack Manager Lite ensures maximum reliability of Compaq computer systems through flexible and comprehensive remote monitoring of rack environments using Compaq CMCs. The software compiles information about all network-connected CMCs, allowing remote monitoring, configuration, management, and control of these devices.
