About AMI
About AMI
American Megatrends Inc. (AMI) creates and manufactures key hardware and software
solutions for the global computer marketplace, providing the highest quality and
compatibility necessary to build today’s advanced computing systems. Established
in 1985, AMI’s mission is to design state-of-the-art computer solutions and develop
advanced technology for the best computing solutions in the world. Today, AMI is the
world’s largest BIOS firmware vendor.
About MegaRAC®
MegaRAC® is a successful product line of Service Processors providing complete outof-band, also known as Lights-out, remote management for servers and workstations.
MegaRAC® Service Processors come in a wide variety of formats such as PCI cards,
embedded modules and software-only products. All these have one thing in common:
MegaRAC® products enable you to access your mission critical servers and workstations
remotely. It doesn’t matter how far away you are. You can be a few feet away or
thousands of miles away. Nor does your system’s status matter. MegaRAC® products
allow you access even if your system has locked up or powered down. Our Service
Processors are utilized to provide complete Out-of-Band access to computer systems
independently of the Operating System status or location to troubleshoot computers
and assure continuity of service.
History of MegaRAC®
In 1998, AMI introduced the MegaRAC® remote management controller for mission
critical servers and workstations. The second generation card, MegaRAC® G2, provided
console redirection in a time before Remote Desktop’s widespread use. Some of its more
advanced features included a battery backup, remote power cycle, remote power down,
remote power up, serial port redirection and internal modem.
In 2002, the server and PC industry started to increasingly incorporate Intelligent
Platform Management Interface (IPMI). Because of this, AMI launched the MegaRAC® PM
Firmware Solution to take advantage of IPMI in the industry.
In 2007, with the development of powerful chip-based integrated Baseboard
Management Controllers (BMC), the focus of AMI shifted to providing firmware-based
service processor solutions. MegaRAC® SP was launched. MegaRAC® SP’s firmware
implemented IPMI 2.0, complete Keyboard, Video and Mouse (KVM) console redirection
and remote media for System-on-Chip (SoC).

American Megatrends introduces a new all-in-one VDI solution offering
personalized virtual desktops with a high-fidelity user experience:
SnapVDI™ Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. Its patent-pending SPARK™
technology takes VDI to the next level by breaking the shackles
of existing VDI performance constraints. Users no longer have to
compromise on performance, as SnapVDI is guaranteed to provide a
rich user experience, even at HD resolution. Moreover, backup and
recovery is built-in right into the solution, with added optional failover
capability for complete data security.
The solution is available in three distinct hardware configurations
at different capacities to serve the widest possible range of VDI
performance needs: Snap VDI Sense, an economical entry point into the
world of VDI for up to 10 users; mid-range Snap VDI Endeavour, for a
strong balance of performance and cost for up to 60 users; and highend Snap VDI Resolute, with top-of-the-line performance for up to 120
users.
Product Highlights:
•

•
Faster than a desktop: Entire VDI boots up in seconds
Instant application launch and access
Seamless user experience: High fidelity even at HD resolution (1920 x 1080)
90% less storage required than a typical VDI solution
Intelligent, on-the-fly backup and disaster recovery built-in
Designed for scalability and performance
Improved productivity with less down time
10x more desktops per configuration
Faster VM provisioning and cloning
SnapVDI is Secure
All user data is stored in the data center instead of locally on each client. Mouse and
keyboard actions are returned to the server over a secure channel, which are all encrypted.
The entirety of an organization’s data resides in a secure environment on highly redundant
systems.
SnapVDI is Green
Computing environments based on VDI deployments use significantly less power then
traditional ones. In fact, SnapVDI uses just 5-7 Watts of power. When transitioning from a
traditional infrastructure, 534.63 KWh of energy is saved per SnapVDI seat a year.
SnapVDI is Centralized
SnapVDI eliminates the need for IT administrators to deal with desktops on an individual
basis. The administrator can upgrade, install and refresh hundreds of nodes all from one
central, remote location. With SnapVDI, the manageability software comes built-in.

MegaRAC® Multiple BMC (mBMC) Solution
The MegaRAC® Multiple BMC (mBMC) solution is a unique firmware
implementation of the IPMI stack for multiple BMC instances
within a single hardware unit. MegaRAC mBMC virtualizes multiple
instances of the BMC on a single physical entity and incorporates
several advanced standards such as IPMI and DCMI. Providing
the same external interfaces of IPMI/DCMI to all management
suites, MegaRAC mBMC can run on any industry-standard SOC that
supports these protocols. The mBMC architecture is suitable for
managing highly dense server nodes within a single chassis and is
widely deployed in microservers.

MegaRAC DIT™ IPMI Management Tool for Android
The MegaRAC® Droid IPMI tool (DIT) is designed to bring server
management to Android mobile devices in a user-friendly manner.
DIT empowers administrators to quickly scan the network and find
all IPMI devices, gather their sensor output and even to power cycle
IPMI devices.
Imagine being a server administrator in today’s world: you are riding transit, an hour
away from work, and one of your servers is heating up… Now, imagine having the
power in your hands to diagnose the problem, take corrective action, and continue to
monitor the situation closely until it is resolved - all with your phone!

MegaRAC DIT makes all of this possible on Android mobile devices with a clean,
streamlined user interface that clearly communicates vital IPMI information. Above
all, DIT is effortless to use - management of IPMI devices begins with just a few simple
steps. To login, the user simply enters the BMC IP Address, Username, Password, and is
ready to go. From the Main Menu, the user can manage Power and Sensors, view the
System Event Log (SEL) and FRU information for asset tracking, as well as send raw IPMI
commands to the BMC.
DIT allows the user to browse the Connection History with a list of all previous BMC
access events (both session and manual access events) for fast access to a particular
BMC. Power On/Off and Power Cycling is managed through a simple one-touch menu,
while discovery of BMCs is just as easy: simply enter the Starting / Ending IP Address
Range to discover BMCs via RMCP Ping/Pong. Asset tracking of FRUs with DIT enables
the administrator to discover FRUs via Device Locator SDR Records and decode FRU
data. DIT can also send and manage IPMI Commands, and supports the creation of
custom OEM commands.
