HP Remote Assistant Features and
Functions
HP Remote Assistant provides a wealth of server management features that make it a
powerful remote management tool. HP Remote Assistant works independently of the
server's processor and network operating system. On-board processing, application in
firmware, and communication via modem or direct serial connection are entirely
separate from server components. An on-board battery also keeps HP Remote Assistant
functional even if the server loses power.
