Dell server management operations

Dell 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. iDRAC7 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. Figure 7 illustrates the various operations that can be performed during the server's
lifecycle.
