MSP8050 MODULAR SERVER SERIES
ENABLE MEDIA APPLICATIONS ACROSS CABLE, TELCO, BROADCAST AND CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

The MSP8050 Series of modular servers is a key component for efficient transcoding in the private cloud. As the demand for viewing content on smartphones and tablets continues to rise, transcoding is moving to the cloud as a means to offload processing tasks from being performed on the end user device.
Kontron and Intel have designed the optimal solution that addresses energy efficiency challenges, scalability and cost, thus resulting in better user experiences for the end customer. The MSP8050 Series’ main use case is to run multiple media applications including transcoding across multiple independent low-power, high-performance processors.

MSP8050 SERIES DATASHEET
IPMItool is a simple Linux command-line tool used to communicate with IPMI-enabled devices. It provides remote management, sensor and FRU information. It can also be used to update firmwares if supported by the device. The following binaries are optimized for Kontron’s products and are based on the open source version found on Sourceforge.
