Zusammenfassung:The disclosure relates to a remote server management controller that is adapted to be incorporated into a managed server. The disclosed embodiments allow a remote user to communicate with the managed server using out-of-band management communications that are not dependent on the OS of the managed server. The user may obtain management data from the OS or perform other functions remotely by causing the managed server to redirect data from its local communications interfaces to communications interfaces that are available to the remote user.
