Remote Diagnostic Management
The Remote Diagnostic Management
(RDM) is a network
management tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a
host of servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the
server condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots
the server in the event of failure and quickly return it to normal
operation. This capability to execute the RDM program from a remote
site bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and reduces
wasted time due to system failure.
