Hardware life cycle host software

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Datacenter edition

    Windows Server 2019 is the cloud-ready operating system that supports the current workloads while introducing technologies that make it easy to transition to cloud computing when you are ready. Dell Technologies HLH uses Windows Server 2019 Datacenter edition with Hyper-V to host the Dell Technologies management VMs and the patch and update tools.

    Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise

    Designed for easy installation and use, OpenManage Enterprise also monitors the health status of both Dell Technologies and multivendor hardware environments—including anytime, anywhere access to status and alerts through OpenManage Mobile-equipped handheld devices.

    Dell EMC OpenManage Network Manager

    Featuring an intuitive web-based interface, support for the Dell family of network switches and multi-vendor support, OpenManage Network Manager makes it easier than ever to manage your converged network infrastructure with:

    • One-to-many functionality to automate configuration management
    • Easy monitoring and diagnoses of networking health and performance
    • Ability to deploy firmware, backup, and restore configurations across many switches and routers

    Dell Technologies SupportAssist

    A customer can request that SupportAssist, which is available to Azure Stack Hub customers at no additional charge, is installed and enabled during HLH deployment. SupportAssist integrates with OpenManage Enterprise to proactively contact Dell Technologies support.

    The best time to solve a problem is before it happens. Using proactive and predictive technology, SupportAssist helps reduce the steps and time to resolution, often detecting issues before they become critical. Benefits of this tool include:

    • Improved productivity—Replaces manual, high-effort routines with automated support
    • Accelerated time to resolution—Receives issue alerts, automatic case creation, and proactive contact from Dell Technologies experts
    • Increased insight and control—Optimizes enterprise devices with monthly ProSupport Plus reporting and gets predictive-issue detection before the problem starts
