The Stratus BMC Device Windows driver is typically related to a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on Stratus servers. BMC is a specialized microcontroller embedded on the motherboard of servers, designed to manage and monitor the health of the hardware. It allows system administrators to remotely monitor, configure, and manage the server even when the operating system is down or the server is powered off, as long as there is power to the BMC itself.

Stratus, being a manufacturer of high-availability systems and servers, provides drivers to ensure that BMC functionality works correctly within a Windows operating environment. The BMC driver enables communication between the operating system and the hardware monitoring components, including sensors for temperature, fan speeds, voltage levels, and the ability to perform remote management tasks like power cycling and accessing system logs.
