Using the DMC and Additional Symantec Solutions to Manage Servers
The Dell™ Management Console (DMC), powered by Altiris™ from Symantec™, provides a central console offering systems management features — from hardware management to advanced enterprise functionality. The DMC, which Dell ships free with every server and which is a free download, provides managers a unified interface through which to implement the deployment, inventory, monitoring and updating of their IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, desktops, notebooks, network devices, printers and devices. The DMC provides advanced support for Dell hardware, particularly PowerEdge™ servers. However, like HP® Systems Insight Manager and IBM® Director, it also provides a foundation for more advanced management functionality.
System managers can extend the value of the DMC with additional Symantec products that integrate easily with its intuitive interface and can scale as needs change.
