Servers today run mission critical applications. There is literally no time for downtime. That is why Intel created Intel® Server Management -- a set of hardware and software technologies built into most Intel® server boards that monitors and diagnoses server health. Intel Server Management helps give you and your customers more server uptime, increased peace of mind, lower support costs, and new revenue opportunities.

Intel® Server Management is a combination of powerful technologies that automatically monitor server health and preemptively diagnose problems as they arise. These built-in management capabilities constitute a huge competitive advantage of Intel server boards and a tremendous benefit to both customers and resellers.

More Server Uptime
Companies of all sizes depend on servers to run business-critical applications -- email, web sites, databases, eCommerce, you name it. By proactively managing servers with Intel® Server Management, you can eliminate most downtime. Having servers "up" rather than "down" means higher productivity, uninterrupted business transactions, and uninterrupted revenues. Intel Server Management watches servers around the clock, catching small problems before they become serious and proactively alerting the system administrator of impending or actual failures.

Lower Support Costs
With Intel Server Management, resellers can support servers from virtually anywhere and with fewer staff -- which means lower service costs for customers and faster problem resolution. Intel Server Management gives small businesses enterprise-level server protection at a small-business price. And because Intel provides server management right on the server board, your customer does not have to buy a remote management card.

Increased Peace of Mind
When customers venture into e-Business areas such as e-Commerce, web-enabled supplier contact, and web-fed order management, they need to know that their infrastructure will not let them down. Knowing that Intel® Server Management is watching over business-critical servers around the clock allows you and your customers to focus on strategic customer and business issues rather than the hardware. Intel Server Management can provide enormous assurance that server health will be the last thing keeping customers -- or you -- up at night.

New Revenue Opportunities
Intel® Server Management presents a new revenue opportunity to resellers -- servicing and supporting servers. You can potentially add thousands of dollars to your bottom line by offering around-the-clock server management services -- from the comfort of your home or office.
