Dell introduced on March, 26th Dell Management Console (DMC) and Dell ISV Partner Program in PartnerDirect. DMC software unites systems management across IT environments through a single console, reducing or eliminating manual systems management processes and allowing businesses to save time, money, and resources which can be redirected to strategic projects.

Dell challenges existing management framework approaches by delivering a simple, open-standards, and modular approach that includes tight integration with an industry leading systems management solution. The Dell ISV Partner Program enables ISVs (Industry Software Vendors) by offering systems management toolkits, technical documentation, integration guides and engineering support.

Dell Management Console Simplifies Systems Management
DMC provides total infrastructure management functionality for client, servers and storage – from basic hardware management to more advanced functions like asset and security management – in a single console.

Dell ISV Partner Program Increases Management Functionality
without Adding New Tools to Manage
The Dell ISV Partner Program maintains a development environment for system management vendors to integrate their tools with Dell’s platform manageability to help reduce IT complexity

Dell empowers customers to get the most out of their IT environment
by tightly integrated third- party systems management tools with toolkits to deploy, monitor and update Dell platforms.

“Dell is committed to simplifying IT so customers can save time, reduce expenses, and focus on their core business”, said Sally Stevens, Director, PowerEdge Platform Marketing, Dell. “The new Dell Management Console improves systems management with a single view of the entire infrastructure. In addition, our approach to open-standards and partnering with systems management vendors mean that our mutual customers get more management functionality with fewer management tools.”

“Customers need to reduce IT costs while also aligning IT with business needs and new opportunities”, said Simon Witts, corporate vice president, Enterprise and Partner. “Customers now have a winning combination of Dell’s new 11G servers running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-v and Microsoft System Center management suite. Dell’s consulting services can help simplify and accelerate the deployment of this powerful and high-value solution for customers.”

“Dell Management Console will help us automate a full range of IT processes so our IT group can spend less time fighting fires and more time working on ways to improve the business, Dennis Von Burg, network manager, LSI, Inc. Dell Management Console shows that Dell is listening to its enterprise customers and applying feedback directly into products that will help increase IT efficiency.”
