==== Hank Bruning  - JBlade ====

I have spent the last 14 years at JBlade exclusively designing System Managers for Data Centers and Telcos. I am the principle architect for the Java library Hemi that implements IPMI 2.0 which is the foundation hardware management.  I am the author of over 70 IPMI commands that are used to control servers, RAIDS, network switches and security appliances. For 12 years I was member of the PICMG executive committee and was a contributing author to the hardware management chapters for the AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA and AdvancedMC standards. I also was a contributing author to the PICMG specifications HPM.1 Firmware Upgrade (vendor neutral re-flashing of devices using IPMI) and HPM.2 LAN-Attached IPM Controller which increases bandwidth to a FRU in by 98%. You can review my OCP proposal for remotely managing servers, storage and network switches titled "Type A IPM Controller" on the OCP hardware mailing list I have also spent six years at Philips(USA and Holland) as a software architect and head of patent strategy for digital video transmission(two years). I was a software programmer for two years with Loral Space Information Systems at NASA Houston, Moffit field and Falcon Air Force bases. I have been a member of OCP since August 2012. For 2014 I would like the OCP Hardware Management subcommittee to develop standards with unambiguous numbered requirements that define 1)a common method to upload firmware, 2)adopt some derivative of the Type A IPM Controller with it's optical and DDR memory asset inventory and 3) develop a method to encapsulate the entire IPMI sensor state of a chassis in a single UDP packet(64K bytes max) using an extension to IPMI RMCP protocol. I speak English and Dutch.
