(BIOS) of your servers to make changes and perform reboots, regardless of

functions quickly and easily through your web browser, without having to install

power distribution unit (PDU), so you can remotely perform hard reboots of
your servers.

The IP Device provides 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and
password protection to prevent unauthorized access to your servers and
protect data transferred over the Internet.
