Dell OPENMANAGE and SupportAssist

Simplify | Automate | Optimise

OPENMMANAGE provides a single, unified console from which to manage/monitor Dell (servers, storage, networking) and multi-vendor hardware. With OpenManage Mobile app, users can access inventory, health status and system from a mobile device.  To provide a full single console solution, OpenManage functionality can be integrated into existing VMware vCenter and Microsoft System Center consoles.
