ASUS ASMB10-IKVM remote management adapter

ASUS ASMB10-iKVM is the latest server-management solution from ASUS, built upon the ASPEED 2600 chipset running on the latest AMI MegaRAC SP-X. The module provides various interfaces to enable out-of-band server management through WebGUI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) and Redfish® API.

ASMB10-iKVM Firmware Framework
ASMB10-iKVM delivers three essential features for server management – Remote management, remote update and security enhancement.

Remote Management
ASMB10-iKVM is an agentless management module to control ASUS servers securely and efficiently. When an ASUS server is connected to power and networking, ASMB10-iKVM enables that system to be monitored and fully managed – either directly in front of the server or remotely, over a network.

With ASMB10-iKVM it’s possible to monitor both system status and hardware-inventory information. It also includes the ASUS-exclusive Thermal Radar II solution to ensure ASUS servers operate in a power-efficient way. For added manage convenience, ASMB10-iKVM supports WebGUI, RESTful APIs such as Redfish and IPMI command for different use scenario, such as enterprise, data centers, cloud-service provision and more.

Remote Update
ASMB10-iKVM supports firmware updates via BIOS, BMC and DFU. It also supports remote BIOS updates, standalone KVM with HTML5 interface for simplified remote control and video recording with BSOD capture for easily trouble-shooting.

All this enables system admins to apply remote keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) control over a network through to provide out-of-band management for around-the-clock remote monitoring via an easy web-based interface – even if the server operating system is down.

Security Enhancement
ASUS servers integrate PFR FPGA as the platform Root-of-Trust solution for firmware resiliency to prevent hackers from gaining access to infrastructure. ASUS security solutions are fully compliant with the 2018 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800 193 specification.

Detect
Detect configuration security breaches using a non-bypassable cryptographic hardware block.

Recover
Restore platform firmware code to the gold-disc image automatically when a breach is discovered in the active configuration.

Protect
Ensure the authenticity and integrity of platform firmware code updates to avoid corruption.
