SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERS AND DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956717 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN MANAGEMENT CONTROLLERS AND DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems through sideband communications facilitated by a management controller hosted by the system.
- The management controller communicates with other components of the data processing system via sideband communications.
- The data processing system includes a sideband communication system to facilitate sideband communications between devices over large distances or challenging conditions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, networking, and data centers to efficiently manage the operation of data processing systems.
Problems Solved
1. Facilitates communication between components of data processing systems over large distances. 2. Enables communication under challenging conditions that may otherwise render traditional communications infeasible.
Benefits
1. Improved management and operation of data processing systems. 2. Enhanced reliability and efficiency in system communication. 3. Increased flexibility in system configuration and maintenance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing data center operations, improving network management, enhancing telecommunications infrastructure.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to sideband communications systems in data processing systems, but specific examples are not provided in this abstract.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. To manage the operation of data processing systems, a management controller hosted by a data processing system may communicate with other components of the data processing system via sideband communications. To facilitate sideband communications between the management controller and other devices, the data processing system may include a sideband communication system. The sideband communication system may facilitate sideband communications between devices over large distances and/or under conditions that may otherwise render the sideband communications infeasible.
