Watch the video to see how OpenManage Enterprise boosts data center staff productivity.

Managing a data center takes a lot of time and effort. Tasks like installing new equipment, checking for proper application health and behavior, and keeping software and firmware up to date all place heavy demands on IT administrators. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise is a unified systems management console designed to take complexity out of the IT administration experience. With OpenManage Enterprise, IT work becomes more streamlined, efficient, automated, and secure, so your IT staff can get back to devising solutions that will drive your business further. In third-party tests from Principled Technologies, Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 saved administrators significant time and effort on a variety of common and important data center management tasks.

By using OpenManage Enterprise, IT could perform firmware compliance checks and updates on a handful of servers in over 70% less time. A benefit that would only grow with more servers. Additionally, the one-to-many management capabilities in OpenManage Enterprise let your IT staff apply configuration settings to all managed servers at once. The console’s editable templates enable IT staff to automate tasks, providing confidence and eliminating potential human error. Without OpenManage Enterprise, important tasks such as server deployment, firmware updates, and system recovery could tie up IT staff for an entire day, and potentially grind all business to a halt.

But with the OpenManage Enterprise console, your IT staff won’t need to spend more than a minute on any of these tasks, no matter how many servers you have. That’s because each instance of OpenManage Enterprise enables your IT staff to simultaneously apply changes for up to 8000 servers. If you have more than 8000 servers, multiple instances of OpenManage Enterprise can provide coverage for even the largest data centers. For data centers with hundreds of servers, OpenManage Enterprise would save IT teams up to 11 hours and nearly 3000 steps every time they complete firmware updates.

In addition to saving time and effort, OpenManage Enterprise also allows IT staff to manage production and test servers from the same window, enables newly purchased servers to initiate their own discovery process, and gives administrators peace of mind by automatically analyzing server temperature data to prevent a server-related power or thermal outage after they’ve set power policy-based capping and budgeting controls. Plus, OpenManage Enterprise offers security features that help to limit damage to your IT infrastructure. Enterprises around the world are dealing with decreased budgets and large workloads, making it more important than ever to give your IT team the tools they need to handle time-consuming work with speed, efficiency, and confidence.
