Performance



This is the result of a two-year development program, with the aim of providing a single tool for managing all equipment.
The Management Console starts with an automated search process that populates its database with discovered systems, and any SNMP-enabled devices are also included.
All servers and workstations can have the Altiris agent pushed to them, which provides enhanced inventory, system monitoring and remote management capabilities.
The console provides tools to run automated tasks on groups of systems, a script builder and a reporting engine.
Not only is the PowerEdge R610 a superbly built rack server, but it introduces a wealth of new features that make it flexible.
Power consumption is low, it's quiet and Dell's new software delivers a comprehensive systems management package.
