System management features
D
ell commercial systems come with a number of systems management options that are include by default for In-Band
management with our Dell Client Command Suite. In-Band management meaning that the Operating System is functional and
the device is connected to a network so that it can be managed. The Dell Client Command Suite of tools can be leveraged
individually or with a systems management console like SCCM, LANDESK, KACE, etc.
We also offer Out-of-Band management as an option. Out-of-band management is when the system does not have a functional
operating system or is turned off and you still want to be able to manage the system in that state.
