The complexity of systems management can be an ongoing source of problems in enterprise data centers, requiring administrators to rely on a host of different tools to manage the disparate servers, storage, software, and other devices and platforms that make up their IT environments. This complexity can burden not only IT staff, but also the organization itself—driving up day-to-day operational costs, increasing the risk of failure, and slowing problem resolution.

The new Dell Management Console1 is designed to significantly simplify systems management, enabling administrators to manage the myriad aspects of their IT environments—including deployment, help-desk support, security, backup, and servers and storage—from a single centralized console. Based on the flexible, extensible Symantec Management Platform architecture, this tool can integrate easily with an entire catalog of high value plug-ins without requiring complicated integration services.2 Implementing a single console that can support a wide variety of management tasks not only helps reduce operational costs, but can also help simplify training for IT staff and enable administrators to focus on enhancing the business value of their IT infrastructures rather than on managing their management tools.
