Dell EMC server management operations

Dell EMC OpenManage systems management is centered on automating the server management lifecycle — deploy, update, monitor and
maintain. To manage an infrastructure properly and efficiently, you must perform all of these functions easily and quickly. iDRAC9 with
Lifecycle Controller technology provides you with these intelligent capabilities embedded within the server infrastructure. This allows you to
invest more time and energy on business improvements and less on maintenance.
