DASH (Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware) is a Web
services-based management technology that enables IT professionals to remotely
manage desktop and mobile computers from anywhere in the world. The
technology lets administrators securely turn the power on/off, query system
inventory, and push firmware updates among other things, regardless of the state
of the remote computer.
Altiris Out of Band Management Component, Altiris Real-Time Console
Infrastructure, and Altiris Real-Time System Manager software support Broadcom
and Intel implementations of DASH.
