 Energy Smart Technologies, including ultra-efficient fans and power supplies for outstanding
energy efficiency
With savings in time and money previously needed for maintenance, you free up resources that can
be used for true innovation.
1.1.5 Simplified Systems Management
The next generation Dell™ OpenManage™ suite offers enhanced operations and standards-based
commands designed to integrate with existing systems for effective control.
1.1.6 Lifecycle Controller
Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced systems management integrated on the server.
Lifecycle Controller simplifies administrator tasks so you can perform a complete set of provisioning
functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a
single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS environment. This
eliminates the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.
