Remote Diagnostic Management

Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a network management
tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a host of
servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the server
condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots the
server in the event of failure and quickly returns it to normal
operation. This capability to execute the RDM program from a
remote site bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and
reduces wasted time due to system failure.
