11 Dell OpenManage systems management

Whether your IT environment consists of a few servers or a few thousand servers,

Dell OpenManage systems management solutions provide comprehensive management for

evolving IT environments. OpenManage is based on open standards and provides agent-based and

agent-free server lifecycle management functionality for Dell PowerEdge servers. OpenManage

solutions help you automate and streamline essential hardware management tasks.

The advanced management capabilities of Dell OpenManage also integrate into offerings from other

popular systems management solutions that you may already use, making Dell platforms easy to

manage and deploy in any IT environment. This ensures your IT services are available when your

business needs them. If you have already standardized on offerings from industry leaders, such as

BMC Software, Microsoft, Symantec™, VMware, or other vendors, you can leverage OpenManage

integration and connections developed to use with your existing systems management framework

to efficiently manage Dell servers, storage, business-client PCs, and network devices.

Start with a firm foundation for efficient hardware management using OpenManage tools, utilities

and management consoles. OpenManage systems management solutions consist of a combination

of embedded management features and software products that help you automate and simplify the

entire server lifecycle: deploy, update, monitor and maintain. OpenManage solutions are

innovatively designed for simplicity and ease of use to help you reduce complexity, save time,

achieve efficiency, control costs and empower productivity.
