Hardware Monitoring
The latest hardware from TYAN is equipped with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) from Renesas H8 which provides not only system monitoring but also remote manageability. The BMC can always monitor the hardware regardless of how the operating system is running. With the BMC onboard, any

Enhanced Authentication
Support new algorithms that provide more robust key exchange process for establishing sessions and authenticating users.
Encryption Support
IPMI message and other payload carried over RMCP+ can be encrypted. This enable confidential remote configuration of parameters such user passwords and transfer of sensitive payload data over SOL.
Firmware Firewall
Firmware Firewall is the name for a collection of commands that enable a BMC implementation to restrict the ability to execute certain commands or functions from a given interface. This can be used to protect against operations that errant or malicious software may used to affect the managed system or other systems.
