Abstract

A server (100) having a plurality of modules (1-8), each module including a communication element (16, 26), a plurality of processors (CPU) (10, 11, 20, 21), a system on a chip (SOC) (12, 22) executing firmware, and a network of programmable ports (FPGA) (13, 23). The modules interconnected by an interconnection (27) between each communication element, an interconnection (28) between each system on a chip (SOC). The executed firmware produces two software components: a satellite management controller (SMC) component of the system (15, 25) and a baseboard management controller (BMC) component (14, 24).
