What is Dell Management Console?

Dell Management Console, powered by Symantec, is a systems management solution designed to provide a central console offering features from basic hardware management to advanced enterprise functionality. DMC provides a single view into the deployment, inventory, monitoring, and updating of your IT infrastructure - including servers, storage, desktops, notebooks, network devices, printers, and other non-Dell devices - and creates a foundation for more advanced management functionality.

On Tuesday, January 10th we announced the general availability (GA) of Dell Management Console 2.0.3, the version that is compatible with ITMS 7.1 SP2.

In addition to general fixes and hardware support, the release includes a “DMC Pack” in the Symantec Product Listing so customers can conveniently select all three server management products for Dell, and the ability to add Server Management Suite and DS for Dell to DMC implementations without switching Product Listings in SIM.

Customers can download DMC 2.0.3 via SIM from the  IT Management Suite product page or from the Dell Product page.
