Management

Management Made Easy

With IT budgets strained to the max, simplified management solutions have never been more critical. Reducing the time it takes to perform routine administrative tasks gives you the freedom to lower overhead and focus more on potential business opportunities.

Making server management simpler is a key benefit of Windows Server® 2008 with Microsoft® System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). SCVMM provides a unified management solution for the virtual data center that provides:

  • Heterogeneous hypervisor support
  • Multi-OS support
  • Streamlined management of physical and virtual systems

Dell offers additional management capabilities through Dell Management Console (DMC), which delivers a single view into your IT infrastructure. With DMC, you can customize the tools to meet your needs — from basic hardware management to more advanced functionality.
