In one or more embodiments, a server may have a remote access controller (RAC) storing a BIOS image. A private cloud server (PCS) communicatively coupled to the RAC may scan the BIOS image. If the BIOS image is compromised, embodiments may access a centralized repository storing information about a plurality of versions of firmware in the server. If there is a previous version with a better performance, a payload for the previous version may be retrieved from a backup service and sent to the RAC. Embodiments may monitor and update a plurality of servers in parallel and rollback to any previous version (N−M) instead of the immediately preceding version (N−1).

System and method for centralizing a repository for virtual deployment

Managing devices at an IHS, including identifying, by a RAC, devices of the IHS, the devices in communication with the RAC; identifying, by the RAC, sensors, the in communication with the RAC; receiving, at the RAC, from one or more of the sensors, telemetry data indicating health characteristics of one or more of the devices; exposing, by the RAC serving as an internet of things (IoT) proxy, the devices to an external IoT platform in communication with the RAC, including: streaming, by the RAC and to the IoT platform, the telemetry data; and receiving, by the RAC and from the IoT platform, a response to a sensor signal sequence of the streamed telemetry data, the sensor signal sequence associated with a particular device of the devices, the sensor signal sequence detected by the IoT platform; adjusting, by the RAC and based on the received response, parameters of the particular device.

Managing devices at an information handling system with a remote access controller (RAC) as an IoT proxy

In various embodiments, a remote access controller supporting remote management of an Information Handling System (IHS). The remote access controller receives a first firmware image comprising first firmware for a first hardware component of the IHS. A personality of the first firmware is determined and at least a portion of the first firmware is stored to a first region of a persistent storage of the first hardware component, where the first region is designated as storing firmware for adapting the first hardware component to the first personality. In response to a detected reconfiguration of the IHS, the remote access controller generates a notification of the first firmware that is stored by the first hardware component and that is usable to adapt operation of the first hardware component to the first personality.

Systems and methods for personality based firmware updates

In one example, a printing device is disclosed, in which a network detection unit may discover available network interfaces associated with a client device upon detecting a printer network interface on which a print job is being received is down, a communication unit may send a link status notification to the client device via the available network interfaces associated with the client device, and a network switching unit may resume the print job using an alternate printer network interface that is accessible by the client device based on the link status notification.

Print job resumption using alternate network interfaces

In one example, a method is disclosed in which a key is generated in a client device when a print job is triggered at the client device. The key and the print job are provided to a printing device. Further, a first thumbnail of a page of the print job is generated in the client device. The page is determined as a function of the key. A first secure image is generated in the client device using the key and the first thumbnail. The first secure image is shared with the printing device. The first secure image is verified by the printing device using the provided key and then the print job is released upon successful verification.

Secure release of print jobs in printing devices

In one example of the disclosure, a capabilities message is received from each of a set of computing devices, the capabilities message indicative of whether the computing device can provide printable content. Capabilities data, indicative of printable content provision capabilities for each of the set of computing devices, is stored. A display of printable content capabilities for the set of computing devices is caused. Responsive to a user selection of a first computing device that can provide printable content, printable content is obtained from the first computing device and printing of the printable content is caused.
