Dell 1.1.5 Easy to Manage The PowerEdge R710 lets you devote more focus to running your business. The Dell OpenManage™ suite offers enhanced operations and standards-based commands designed to integrate with existing systems for effective control. Lifecycle Controller, the optional advanced embedded systems management engine, automates common management tasks and gives you zero-media, low-touch deployment that is efficient, secure and user-friendly. Lifecycle Controller works with the standard iDRAC Express or optional iDRAC Enterprise to help simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive set of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration, and diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS environment. This helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media. With Dell Lifecycle Controller server deployment automation, the R610 can be up and running fast. Dell Management Console (DMC), powered by Altiris™ from Symantec™, delivers a single view and a common data source into the entire infrastructure. DMC is an easily extensible, modular foundation that can provide basic hardware management or more advanced functions such as asset and security management. It helps reduce or eliminate manual processes so less time and money is spent keeping the lights on and more time can be spent on strategic uses of technology. 1.1.6 Dell Services Dell Services can help reduce IT complexity, lower costs, and eliminate inefficiencies by making IT and business solutions work harder for you. The Dell Services team takes a holistic view of your needs and designs solutions for your environment and business objectives while leveraging proven delivery methods, local talent, and in-depth domain knowledge for the lowest TCO. 1.2 Comparison Table 1.
