* IT Assistant is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a central point of access to monitor and manage systems on a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). By providing a comprehensive view across the enterprise, IT Assistant can increase system uptime, reduce repetitive tasks, and prevent interruption during critical business operations. Note that IT Assistant 8.0.1 is designed to work with Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.

* The BMC Management Utility provides a command line based remote management station to manage all supported BMC functions. Use the BMC Management Utility to manage a BMC from a remote management station, and as a managed system's emergency management console. The utility gives you the option of using either a command line interface (Intelligent Platform Management Interface [IPMI shell] or a Serial-Over-LAN proxy [SOL Proxy]) to access and manage the BMC. The BMC monitors the system for critical events by communicating with various sensors on the system board and sending alerts and logs events when certain parameters exceed their preset thresholds. The BMC supports the industry-standard IPMI specification, enabling you to configure, monitor, and recover systems remotely.

* The Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) console is management station software designed to provide remote management capabilities for PowerEdge™ systems. You can remotely connect to RAC hardware using the DRAC Tools software. The following RAC features are implemented in the hardware and are available either by using a browser or by way of the racadm CLI:
- Hardware sensor monitors, such as temperature, voltage, and fans
- Access to hardware and alert logs
- Ability to generate alerts, even when the system is down
- Remote system power up and power down
- Remote floppy boot operations

* The Microsoft® Active Directory® Snap-in utility provides an extension snap-in to the Microsoft Active Directory, which allows you to manage Dell-specific Active Directory objects.
