(iDRAC with LC)
iDRAC with Dell Lifecycle Controller allows administrators to deploy, update, monitor, and manage Dell
servers from any location without the use of agents in a one-to-one or one-to-many method. This out-of-
band management allows the updates to be sent from Dell or appropriate third-party consoles directly to
iDRAC with Dell Lifecycle Controller on a Dell PowerEdge server, regardless of the operating system that
may or may not be running.
