Supermicro Power Manager (SPM)

Supermicro Power Manager (SPM) is an application for monitoring and managing Supermicro servers with Intel® Node Manager enabled. Based on the Intel Data Center Manager (Intel DCM), the policy-based energy management provided by SPM is agentless and out-of-band. SPM provides real-time power monitoring and management, helping IT managers optimize energy efficiency for different levels of workloads ranging from servers to data centers. The workload demand can be customized to meet different needs.

Licensing: SFT-DCMS-SINGLE or SFT-SPM-LIC is required for each target node.

Features:

  • Real-time power monitoring and management
  • Agentless management via BMC with Intel NM-enabled servers
  • Centralized management on a single dashboard console
  • Notifications through email and SNMP traps
  • Supports REST APIs, GUI, and CLI
  • Supports exporting reports in CSV and PDF formats

To be an AMD-enabled server, the system must meet the following requirements:

  • AMD EPYC™ 7000 series processors
  • ASPEED AST2500 or AST2600 BMC attached
