1.1 Overview
Intel
®
Server Continuity Suite (referred to as the Suite in the remaining
part of this document) is a business continuity suite that enables you to
monitor servers built on Intel
®
server boards and take necessary actions to
ensure the business is not disrupted. You can take a backup of your
business critical data on a storage volume and restore the data if the
server hard disk drive fails. The Suite has an engaging graphical user
interface that enables you to perform these tasks with the click of a few
buttons.
The Suite has the following modules:
 Hardware Management
 Storage Management
 Data Protection
The Suite creates a log of changes in the server's performance and saves
them as events. These are displayed on the screen of the console. System
administrators can also configure the Suite to send periodic notifications
about actions and events through emails. The administrator can then take
actions based on the notifications.
1.1.1 Hardware Management Module
The Hardware Management module provides a real time pictorial view of
the server board and the server components and provides the tools to
monitor the health of the components.
The module enables you to view:
 Information about health of various hardware components such
as processors, memory, power supply, and system fans.
 Information about health of logical drives.
 Events and actions related to hardware components.
 Sensor information related to temperature, fan speed, voltage,
and current.
