IPMI and WS-Management

Microsoft WS-Management is an extensible web-based standard management protocol for monitoring
system hardware. The following are key terms an administrator should recognize when working with
WS-Management:
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) – A set of common interfaces to computer
hardware that is used to monitor and manage system health.
• Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) – A micro-controller that monitors the system and allows
for intelligent platform management.
• IPMI Driver – The driver that enables communication between the BMC device and the OS.
• IPMI Provider – As defined by Microsoft, "a user-mode COM DLL that implements a high-level
abstraction of the IPMI data using the standard IPMI Common Information Model (CIM) profile."
