Lifecycle Controller Remote Services Quick Start Guide
Benefits of using iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller
The iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller technology in the server’s embedded management allows you to perform useful tasks such as configuring BIOS and hardware settings, deploying operating systems, changing RAID settings, and saving hardware profiles. Together, iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller provide a robust set of management functions that can be used throughout the entire server Lifecycle.
Lifecycle Controller simplifies server Lifecycle management — from provisioning, deployment, patching and updating to servicing — both locally and remotely. Lifecycle Controller includes managed and persistent storage that embeds systems management features and Operating System device drivers directly on the server. This eliminates the media-based system management tools and utilities traditionally needed for systems management.
The benefits include:
- Increased Uptime — Notifies the potential or actual failures quickly to prevent a server failure or reduce recovery time after a failure.
- Improved Productivity and Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) — Extends the reach of administrators to larger number of remote servers. This helps IT staff to be more productive and also reduces the operational expenses such as travel.
- Enhanced Security— Provides secure access to remote servers to help administrators perform critical management functions while maintaining server and network security.
- Increased Efficiency— Automates the server configuration management using Dell OpenManage Essentials and Dell partner consoles, which enables efficient administration as server deployments scale.
