In our hands-on tests, the Dell EMC systems management console saves time and effort on data center tasks
Dell EMC™ OpenManage™ Enterprise contains many features that streamline IT administration workflows and increase efficiency. So, how much time and effort do these features save over the processes administrators are already used to?
At Principled Technologies, we put OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 to the test, measuring the hands-on time required to complete a series of common administrative tasks such as updating firmware and repurposing servers. We performed each task on one, two, and three servers, then used these data points to estimate the time it would take to perform each task on up to 1,000 servers. Because of its one-to-many management capability, OpenManage Enterprise required the same amount of time to complete each task no matter the number of servers involved. Performing these tasks manually required increasing amounts of time and effort with each additional server.
We estimate that for each task we tested, Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.4 would save more than 99 percent of the time it would take to perform the tasks manually on 1,000 servers. These time savings could free up your IT Administrators to take care of more challenging tasks and enable them to accomplish more with each workday.
