Managing servers as part of a systems management solution presents unique challenges that need to be addressed differently from client systems. Dell offers a set of freely available tools, called OpenManage, to help manage servers purchased from Dell. These tools deliver remote access management, BIOS and system chassis management, and active hardware system monitoring via SNMP or IPMI. Integrating the OpenManage toolset with the Dell | KACE K1000 Systems Management Appliance provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for managing Dell servers. This white paper discusses the issues and the capabilities of addressing those issues with the combined OpenManage and Dell KACE offerings.
