Dell OpenManage Connections
We designed OpenManage™ Connections specifically for monitoring Dell servers and storage platforms within infrastructures managed by HP Operations Manager, HP OpenView Network Node Manager, IBM Tivoli® Netcool®/OMNIbus, IBM Tivoli® Enterprise Console or CA Network and Systems Management (NSM) solutions.
OpenManage Connections enable your IT administrators to:
- Improve operational efficiency and flexibility in managing large heterogeneous data center environments
- Extract richer information about the health and behavior of Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault™ storage than what is generally accessible through third-party tools
- Make informed and rapid decisions impacting the availability of data center resources
OpenManage Connections make integration easy, and let you manage your Dell servers and storage within the infrastructure frameworks you already own. The following OpenManage Connections are available as no-charge software downloads:
