Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a server service program
that allows server management control via remote station. It utilizes
modems, pagers, and telephone lines to enable a remote station to
monitor and analyze the server condition, update system BIOS
settings and quickly return the system to normal operation. This “quick
response” feature of RDM minimizes the time wasted due to system
failure and therefore, offers the best solution for the distance barrier
issue.
