They just use some standard BMC chip which nowadays is often an embedded
Linux device. E.g. a Supermicro X8DTT board (labeled as SGI hardware)
shows:

PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
443/tcp  open  https
555/tcp  open  dsf
623/tcp  open  unknown
5900/tcp open  vnc
5901/tcp open  vnc-1

A ssh login gets you

BusyBox v1.1.3 (2009.09.11-00:00+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
