OpenManage systems management
The Dell EMC OpenManage systems management portfolio includes powerful hardware and software management tools and
consoles. OpenManage simplifies the lifecycle of deploying, updating, monitoring and maintaining your Dell EMC PowerEdge servers.
iDRAC with Lifecycle controller
The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller provides embedded management in every Dell EMC
PowerEdge server. It provides functionality that helps you deploy, update, monitor and maintain Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with or
without a systems management software agent, and because it is embedded, iDRAC doesn’t need an operating system or hypervisor
to start working. This agent-free operation means that with OpenManage technology, your new server is ready to deploy a new OS
or accept new settings without installing extra software. And with powerful, easy-to-use, remote management and configuration
options, iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller can alert you when an issue occurs, no matter where you are.
