BMC
(Baseboard Management Controller)
A Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a specialized microcontroller embedded in servers and other computing hardware to provide out-of-band management capabilities. BMC allows administrators to monitor and control hardware remotely, even if the main system is powered off.
BMC is a key component of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard, enabling features like remote power cycling, system health monitoring, and firmware updates. It is widely used in data centers to improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime. However, BMCs can also be a security risk if not properly secured.
