Dell integrates with Microsoft management tools
C|Net | at | by Mike
Dell has unveiled three server management tools that let information technology managers control their hardware and Microsoft software at the same time. The three new tools, part of Dell's OpenManage software line, integrate with similar tools from Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) so that administrators can update a server's BIOS (basic input/output systems) or firmware and apply security patches to a Microsoft application through the same screen. Ideally, this will make the patching of systems easier and will also cut down on training time.
