      <description>BMCs are a fundamental component of datacenter bare metal assets like servers and chassis,
The bmc-toolbox leverages the Baseboard Management Controller to help manage the lifecycle of datacenter bare metal assets
It provides tools to inventorize, configure, manage, authenticate/authorize a large fleet of bare metal assets through the BMC.
 bmclib - A Go lang library that provides a consistent set of methods to interface with BMCs. dora - tool to inventorize a fleet of bare metal servers and chassis assets.</description>

      <description> Dora the bare metal asset discovery service periodically scans network subnets for server/chassis assets,
and collects data from discovered assets, these are then listed in its DB and kept updated.
Dora acts as a dynamic inventory for bare metal assets, the data is exposed via a JSON API interface.
Check it out on Github   
The figure describes the type of data Dora collects   </description>

      <description> Actor abstracts away various management actions to BMCs (Baseboard Management Controllers), and exposes them through a consistent API.

      <description>What about Redfish? Redfish is a standard defined by the DMTF, hardware vendors are then expected to implement these standards,
on thier BMCs, however the problems we faced when dealing with a large fleet were,
 Vendors are quite slow at implementing and keeping up with the released standards Some of the implementations are just incorrect or not functional (we try to report these when we find them)
 Not all of the methods exposed by bmclib are currently exposed through Redfish.</description>
