About Dedicated Server Power

Let Nuvabill run the dedicated servers you sell from Hardware.

- Redfish (HTTPS) for Dell iDRAC, HPE iLO, Supermicro and most new servers, IPMI for older boards
- Clients get power buttons (power on, shut down, restart, force restart and force off, as each product allows), with a question before each forced action and at most 6 presses in 10 minutes
- Health checks every 15 minutes: temperatures, fans, power supplies and drives. A failed part or a temperature above its critical limit is emailed to your team once, and the fault closes by itself when it is fixed
- Power use in watts every 15 minutes: graphs for 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days, and kWh this month and last month, for your team and for the client
- Power history: who switched what and when, on the machine page and for the client (without staff names)
- Next boot from the local disk, the network (PXE) or the BIOS setup: always for your team, and for clients on the products you choose
- Suspended servers are shut down and forced off after a wait, and checked every hour; ended servers are switched off before the wipe
- Safe by design: BMC logins are stored encrypted and never shown again, BMC certificates are pinned, no login is sent before you trust the certificate, IPMI passwords never appear on a command line, and clients never see the BMC, its address or a staff name

Needs Nuvabill 0.7.0 or newer and a network path from your Nuvabill server to the BMCs (a private management network or a VPN). Without this add-on, Nuvabill still sells your machines and emails your team to switch them by hand.

One license is for one website. Test sites (localhost, .test, dev. and staging. addresses) are free.
