Overview
Active System Manager (ASM) is Dell’s unied management product that provides a comprehensive infrastructure and workload
automation solution for IT administrators and teams. ASM simplies and automates the management of heterogeneous
environments, enabling IT to respond more rapidly to dynamic business needs. IT organizations today are often burdened by complex
data centers that contain a mix of technologies from dierent vendors and cumbersome operational tasks for delivering services
while managing the underlying infrastructure. These tasks are typically performed through multiple management consoles for
dierent physical and virtual resources, which can dramatically slow down service deployment. ASM features an enhanced user
interface that provides an intuitive, end-to-end infrastructure and workload automation experience through a unied console. This
speeds up workload delivery and streamlines infrastructure management, enabling IT organizations to accelerate service delivery and
time to value for customers.
This document contains information about virtual appliance and software requirements of ASM, and the resources supported by
ASM such as chassis, servers, storage, network switches, and adapters.
