Inc.,a provider of solutions for managing IT infrastructure equipment and the mission-critical applications and services that run on it--today announced its support for the Open Platform Management Architecture (OPMA OPMA Open Platform Management Architecture (open interface specification for the connection of platform management subsystems to server motherboards) OPMA Open Public Meetings Act OPMA Ontario Podiatric Medical Association ) specification. AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) developed the specification in collaboration with industry partners, including Raritan Computer, to enable hardware vendors to connect several different management subsystems to a common hardware interface within a server platform. The specification is designed to benefit server OEMs and motherboard manufacturers by providing a common interface standard for embedded system Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. management that helps reduce platform development risk, cost, and time to market. In turn, these benefits translate into more cost-effective and powerful solutions for enterprise IT organizations. Raritan Computer and its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and business unit, Peppercon AG--which develops embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. KVM-over-IP modules and subsystems for remote server management--were leading partners in the development of the OPMA specification. In addition, Peppercon is delivering an OPMA-compliant KVM-over-IP embedded solution to the OEM server market.
