The integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) delivers advanced, agent-free, local and remote server administration. Embedded in every PowerEdge server, iDRAC offers a secure out of the box solution to automate a multitude of common management tasks.

iDRAC offers standard IT administration techniques and tools across the Dell PowerEdge portfolio, allowing easy scaling of PowerEdge servers as an organization's infrastructure grows.
