Overview

Active System Manager (ASM) is Dell’s unified management product that provides a comprehensive infrastructure and workload

automation solution for IT administrators and teams. ASM simplifies 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 different vendors and cumbersome operational tasks for delivering

services while managing the underlying infrastructure. These tasks are typically performed through multiple management consoles

for different 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 unified console. This

speeds up workload delivery and streamlines infrastructure management, enabling IT organizations to accelerate service delivery and

time to value for customers.
