The MIC-3924 is an independent platform system management module that can detect a system’s operating conditions and notify users to take necessary actions to avert system failure through multiple communication protocols. With the MIC-3924 installed, monitoring and managing a system can be integrated with an existing SNMP-based network management environment. The MIC-3924 also has a built-in web-based administration interface which allows users to monitor the system’s operation from any place with Internet connectivity.
