Systems management features
Overview
: Dell commercial systems come with a number of systems management options that are include by default for In-Band
management with our Dell Client Command Suite. In-Band management meaning that the Operating System is functional and the device is
connected to a network so that it can be managed. The Dell Client Command Suite of tools can be leveraged individually or with a systems
management console like SCCM, LANDESK, KACE, etc.
We also
offer
Out-of-Band management as an option. Out-of-Band management is when the system does not have a functional operating
system or is turned
off
and you still want to be able to manage the system in that state.
