Interface de gestion intelligente de matériel, (ou IPMI, Intelligent Platform Management Interface) est un ensemble de spécifications d'interfaces communes avec du matériel informatique (principalement des serveurs) permettant de surveiller certains composants (ventilateur, sonde de température, …).
An implementation of IPMI version 1.5 and later can send out alerts via a direct serial connection, a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Serial Over LAN (SOL) connection to a remote client. System administrators can then use IPMI messaging to query platform status, to review hardware logs, or to issue other requests from a remote console through the same connections. The standard also defines an alerting mechanism for the system to send a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Platform Event Trap (PET).
