IMM features
The IMM provides the following functions:
° Around-the-clock remote access and management of your server
° Remote management independent of the status of the managed
server
° Remote control of hardware and operating systems
° Web-based management with standard Web browsers
So much for the idea such a thing as a a freedom-loving and people's rights
and privacy respectfull technocorporation could exist.
