Technology and Design That Go the Distance

• Utilizing robust, durable industrial materials to enable longer product life cycles
• Introducing a Unified Server Configurator (USC), which helps to minimize downtime by offering embedded and persistent diagnostics with no media required
• Improving redundancy generation over generation with features such as an internal dual SD module, which provides failover at the hypervisor level
• Implementing a “one-touch” quality-control process to ensure that one person is responsible for the entire server build
• Ensuring that every fully configured Dell server is tested — and re-tested — before it leaves the factory

Comprehensive, Cost-Effective Management

Dell systems management portfolio adheres to open standards, while focusing on the core principles you need: simplicity, cost-effectiveness and a holistic focus across the solutions stack.

Lifecycle Controller 
Integrated on the server, the Lifecycle Controller helps administrators perform provisioning functions, such as diagnostics, hardware configuration and system deployment in a pre-OS environment — all from a single interface called the Unified Server Configurator (USC). This helps eliminate the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of CD/DVD media.

Interactive LCD Screen 
The PowerEdge R715 features an interactive LCD screen positioned at the front of the server for easy setup, monitoring and maintenance. Plain-language diagnosis and a programmable messaging system can help users address issues quickly to simplify day-to-day monitoring.

Dell Management Console 
Dell OpenManage™ systems management portfolio also includes the Dell Management Console, which is included with every Dell server and provides IT managers with a consolidated view of their entire IT infrastructure.
