Dell Inc. 16
Dell | System Center 2012 Integration: Dell provides management packs for the optional System
Center components to monitor servers, storage, and networking components. These packs allow System
Center 2012 Operations Manager (SCOM) to monitor, report on, and take actions based upon alerts
generated by the individual components. Dell also provides integration tools for System Center
Configuration Manager for the Lifecycle Controller, providing a framework for bare-metal deployment
of servers and operating systems. Dell Compellent also includes management tools for automating the
deployment of virtual machines with VMM 2012 and the System Center 2012 Service Manager Self-
Service Portal. These optional components are beyond the scope of this document. Additional
information can be obtained from your Dell Sales or Services representative.
The management applications discussed above are installed as virtual machines in PowerEdge R620
server management cluster. Figure 7 below illustrates the Virtual Machines used in the management
cluster along with optional components.
