Dell has launched its enhanced systems management solution -- Dell OpenManage 5.3.

According to the release, Dell OpenManage 5.3 reduces the number of tools necessary for Dell server deployments and updates from three to one, via Dell Systems Build and Update Utility 1.0, giving customers fewer tools to manage while providing a more holistic view and greater understanding of their IT infrastructures. OpenManage 5.3 also claims to address the power and thermal challenges of datacentres.

According to Rick Becker, vice president solutions, Dell Product Group, “With standard IT management functionality provided free of charge, along with more efficient processes, reduced maintenance costs and deployment time, and significantly less complexity, we enable customers to spend less time just ‘keeping the lights on’ and maintaining systems so they can commit more time and resources on the innovation front.”
