Assess Your Needs

Determining Your Systems Management Needs and Requirements

We can help you ask and answer the questions that can tell you whether you're on the right systems management path:
  • Are your current or planned systems management solutions based on industry standards?
  • Can you easily and flexibly extend those solutions throughout your IT infrastructure?
  • As your IT infrastructure grows, can new servers and other IT resources easily be brought into the same management framework?
The system management solutions from Dell and our partners are based on industry standards:
  • Server management — WS-MAN (Web Services for Management)
  • Structured data storage for efficient access from consoles — HII (Human Interface Infrastructure) Database
  • Interface between platform firmware and operating systems — UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)
Open standards aid IT infrastructure flexibility and help to avoid vendor lock-in.

Dell™ IT Consulting Services can help you determine which systems management solutions are appropriate for your current and future IT requirements. Our solutions are flexible and extensible, growing as your IT environment grows.
