Overview

Mellanox Unified Fabric Manager™ Advanced (UFM™) is a powerful platform for managing scale-out computing environments. UFM
enables data center operators to efficiently provision, monitor and operate the modern data center fabric.

UFM runs on a server and is used to monitor and analyze Mellanox fabrics health and performance. UFM also can be used to
automate provisioning and device management tasks. For example, UFM can communicate with devices, to reset or shut down ports
or devices, perform firmware and software upgrades, etc. UFM's extensive API enables it to easily integrate with existing
management tools for a unifie
systems and to activate user made scripts based on system events.
