Abstract

A secure control module for BMC platform offloading to a remote application includes a processor, a network interface, and a connector with data connections. The connector is configured to connect to one or more data connections of a motherboard of a host. The secure control module includes non-transitory computer readable storage media storing code executable by the processor to perform operations that include receiving management signals from the connector. The management signals include input related to controlling the host. The operations include transmitting the management signals over the network interface to a management application running on a remote server, and receiving, over the network interface, management information from the management application. At least a portion of the management information is in response to the management signals. The operations include transmitting the management information over the connector to the host on at least one of the one or more data connections.
