Dell OpenManage Server Administrator
Functionality
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator provides a comprehensive set of integrated management services designed for system administrators to manage
systems locally and remotely on a network. Server Administrator is the sole installation on the managed system and is accessible both locally and remotely
from the Server Administrator Home page. Remotely monitored systems may be accessed by dial-in, LAN, or wireless connections. Server Administrator
ensures the security of its management connections through role-based access control (RBAC), authentication, and industry-standard secure socket layer
(SSL) encryption.
For information on installing Server Administrator, see "Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems" or "Installing Managed
System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems".
