If you're not adverse to a bit of open source software (read: not looking for a turn key commercial solution), Cacti, Collectd or Munin will all help collecting and displaying/graphing data sets.  All of these have integrations into 'ipmitool' which can poll the IPMI devices for their sensor information.
