Remote server management utilizing self contained baseboard management controller

A system, comprising:

• a first server including a first baseboard management controller (BMC) and a first operating environment including a first motherboard and a first processor;
• and
• a second server including a second BMC and a second operating environment including a second motherboard and a second processor;
• wherein the first BMC includes circuitry configured to:
• determine that the second server is in a standby mode wherein the second operating environment is powered down and the second BMC is powered only through a connection between the BMCs;
• determine that additional resources for execution by the system from the second server are to be activated;
• and
• send a wake-up signal to the second BMC;
• wherein the second BMC includes circuitry configured to:
• receive the wake-up signal;
• wake the second operating environment;
• and
• provision the second operating environment.
