Abstract
A customizable configuration data structure contains information regarding proxies to provide. A proxy infrastructure has a controller to read the customizable configuration data structure and to create the proxies. A management processor has firmware-based features, where the proxies are to access the firmware-based features through an interface between the proxy infrastructure and the management processor.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a customizable configuration data structure containing information regarding proxies to provide;
- a proxy infrastructure having a controller to read the customizable configuration data structure and to create the proxies;
- and
- a management processor having firmware-based features, wherein the proxies are to access the firmware-based features through an interface between the proxy infrastructure and the management processor.
