InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Dell and Microsoft said Monday they are working together to integrate their systems management applications to allow customers to update server hardware and software with a single tool.
Dell's OpenManage 4 change management software will work with Microsoft's Systems Management Server 2003 to offer customers a centralized view of all Dell PowerEdge servers on their network. When customers apply software updates, they will be able to use the integrated application to handle Dell firmware and BIOS updates at the same time they update their operating system and applications software.
