OpenManage Essentials: The Dell OpenManage™ Essentials (OME) Console provides a single, easy-to-
use, one-to-many interface through which to manage resources in multivendor operating system and
hypervisor environments. It automates basic repetitive hardware management tasks — like discovery,
inventory, and monitoring— for Dell servers, storage, and network systems. OME employs the
embedded management of PowerEdge™ servers — Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7)
with Lifecycle Controller — to enable agent-free remote management and monitoring of server
hardware components like storage, networking, processors, and memory.
OpenManage Essentials helps you maximize IT performance and uptime with capabilities like:
Automated discovery, inventory, and monitoring of Dell PowerEdge™ servers, EqualLogic™ and
PowerVault™ storage, and PowerConnect™ switches
Server health monitoring as well as BIOS, firmware and driver updates for Dell PowerEdge
servers, blade systems, and internal storage
Control of PowerEdge servers within Windows®, Linux®, VMware® and Hyper-V® environments
