IBM has director agents, raidman (for ServeRAID) and probably a few other
things.
The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) might let you do cross
platform (at least cross-vendor) monitoring in a standardized way. You'll
need IPMI drivers for the specific platform you're on but above that the
monitoring layer can be standardized (in theory).
Check out dmtf.org, ipmitool, OpenWBEM, etc. I haven't had the time yet to
find out if these things are useable but if they are then I expect it's a
step in the right direction.
