Essentials 2010 High Level Features
• Essentials 2010 Console: Essentials 2010 introduces a unified
management console for managing your IT environment. The console runs
on the Essentials management server and provides access to all Essentials
2010 features. You can also install the Essentials 2010 console in a
distributed environment where the Essentials management server and the
Essentials console are deployed on different systems. You can also install
additional Essentials consoles for the same management server on
different systems.
•
Virtualization of your Server Environment in Essentials: Virtualization
management has been introduced in System Center Essentials 2010 to
help small and mid-sized businesses maximize their technology resources.
A virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system and enables the
simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible operating systems.
Using Essentials 2010 to monitor your virtual environment helps
maximize limited IT resources by consolidating under-utilized physical
servers and rapidly provisioning new virtual machines, which can be used
as application servers or to perform other similar tasks.
•
Update Management in Essentials: System Center Essentials 2010 allows
administrators to view, download, and deploy software updates required by
operating systems and other software on managed computers. Dell has
partnered with Microsoft to distribute updates for Dell hardware through
the same update management experience.
•
Essentials 2010 OEM Experience: As part of partnership between Dell
and Microsoft, Essentials 2010 provides OEM experience in the Essentials
console which includes information about the OEM solution and helps
users in hardware management. The Dell logo, Dell WIKI link, Dell
Management Pack Manuals link, link for manuals for Dell OEM Essentials
solution, and Dell eSupport link are available as part of the OEM
experience.
