H3C- Server Intelligent Management Platform

  H3C SERVER MONITORING INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT PLATFORM  

FEATURES

• Embedded Out-of-Band Controller

• HDM functions as a board-level firmware (akin to BMC) embedded in H3C UniServer servers, enabling independent control over the hardware even when the OS is down.

• Full Hardware Monitoring & Alerts

• Monitors metrics such as CPU temperature, voltages, fan speeds, storage status, memory, power supplies. It can issue alarms, log events, send traps or syslog, and take snapshot/video records on crashes.

• Configuration Import/Export

• Supports export, modification, and import of configuration files (BIOS, RAID, HDM settings) for rapid replication or deployment to multiple servers.

• Support for Firmware / Driver Upgrades

• Through cooperation with UniSystem, HDM can receive firmware/driver updates out-of-band and help orchestrate bulk upgrade tasks.

SPECIFICATIONS

• System scope: Manages server hardware, full device lifecycle from provisioning through decommissioning.

• Deployment model: Web-based visual interface for server racks, modules and entire data-centre zones.

• Security support: Firmware signature checks, authentication control, encrypted management channels.

• Integration API: Supports RESTful/HTTP APIs for data export, automation workflows.

• Alerting/diagnosis: Real-time hardware fault alarm generation and visual health indicators.

• Supported hardware platforms: Compatible with H3C UniServer series, embedded HDM modules.

• Feature expansions: Via optional modules (e.g., HDM and UniSystem components) for extended deployment.

• Licensing: Some features may require additional modules/standing licences.

• Target scale: Suitable for data-centre server farms rather than just small server rooms.

• Industry compliance: Meets enterprise data-centre management and security standards

• User experience: Supports role-based access, multi-tenant views and visual dashboards for operations teams.

• Integration: Works with higher-level server management platforms such as Server Intelligent Management Platform and UniSystem.

• Support lifecycle: Allows firmware upgrades, secure wiping/retirement of servers via remote control.

• Scope: Designed for onsite server management, not just network devices.

  H3C SERVER MONITORING UNISYSTEM  

FEATURES

• Unified Server Fleet Management

• UniSystem is software that centralizes management of servers, chassis enclosures, and blades via a GUI, handling deployment, health, firmware, and configuration under one roof.

• Intelligent Firmware / Driver & OS Deployment

• Supports out-of-band and in-band firmware and driver updates, bulk patching, OS image deployment, and compliance baseline checks.

• Bulk & Automated Operations

• Allows bulk editing (e.g. HDM management IP addresses), auto-discovery of enclosures and servers, and group-based operations.

• LDAP Integration & Access Control

• Supports LDAP login, user/domain groups, and role permissions in multi-user environments.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Device scale: Up to 5,000 servers, 30 switches, 128 infrastructure devices managed per UniSystem node.

• Deployment options: ISO image or embedded AE module; supports hybrid clusters and modular expansion.

• Template operations: Supports server image templates, BIOS/firmware baselines, configuration templates.

• Integration: RESTful APIs for third-party tool integration, supports automated workflows.

• Asset management: Ability to view devices by data-centre, server-room, rack and node.

• HybridIT support: Manages blade, rack, tower servers; supports enclosure modules and clustered architecture.

• Version/Update model: Supports upgrade via ISO; documentation for version 2.64 release notes.

• Scope: Data-centre and enterprise grade; designed to reduce O&M cost across server lifecycle.

• Licensing/Documentation: Documentation available for components and features — may require licensing.

• User interface: Web UI, dashboards showing resource usage, health metrics, energy consumption.
