Maximize IT efficiency with Dell agent-free embedded server management

Essential management tasks take a lot of your staff time and cost you money. Deploying, updating, monitoring and maintaining IT resources typically require:

Chasing down disks with the latest tools
Searching for systems management software agents to install
Downloading BIOS, firmware or drivers for updates

We can help you reduce the amount of time and the number of manual steps you allocate to the most common, repetitive and time-consuming management tasks.

First introduced with Dell™ PowerEdge™ 11th generation servers in 2009, our second generation of embedded server management, Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) with Lifecycle Controller 2.0, helps you resolve inefficiencies associated with traditional, agent-based systems management. Tools resident within PowerEdge servers help you simplify, streamline and automate all of your server life cycle management procedures.

Our embedded server management solution helps you manage PowerEdge servers in physical, virtual, local and remote environments, operating in-band or out-of-band; with an agent or without.

You save time, reduce manual steps associated with each task and mitigate the risk of potential errors while your servers conserve precious CPU cycles. All of these benefits translate to less risk of downtime for your critical applications, and more uptime for your business and your customers.

Take control. Drive efficiency. Get the most from your IT resources.

Contact a Dell expert to bring the advantages of OpenManage™ systems management and Dell platforms, solutions and services into your data center.
