Additionally, the same agent is oftenused as a local interface into the hardware health and may be accessed remotely as a managementinterface, typically referred to as a one-to-one interface. For customers that continue to use agent-based solutions, Dell provides OpenManage Server Administrator.OpenManage Server AdministratorThe Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) agent gives you a comprehensive, one-to-onesystems management solution for both local and remote servers and their storage. OMSA can helpsimplify single-server monitoring with a secure command-line interface (CLI) or web-basedmanagement graphical user interface (GUI). It can also be used to view system configuration,inventory, health and performance.Agent-free managementBecause Dell PowerEdge servers have embedded server lifecycle management, in many cases, thereis no need to install an OpenManage systems management software agent into the operatingsystem of a Dell PowerEdge server. This greatly simplifies and streamlines the managementfootprint.
