ALOM Overview
ALOM Features
ALOM is a system controller that comes preinstalled on your server, and is available
as soon as you install and power on the system. Through a command-line interface,
you can customize ALOM to your particular installation. Then you can monitor and
control your server, either over the network or through a terminal server using the
dedicated serial management port on the server.
