      label: Baseboard Management Controller
      definition: >-
        A dedicated microcontroller embedded on the server motherboard that
        provides out-of-band management capabilities independently of the
        main CPU and OS. Supermicro BMCs implement the Redfish API.

      label: Redfish API Standard
      definition: >-
        DMTF's open industry standard specification for a RESTful API
        for server management. Uses JSON over HTTPS and replaces legacy
        IPMI for modern server management. Supermicro supports Redfish on
        X10 and later platforms.
