Is Out-of-Band (OOB) Monitoring the new paradigm for server management?
By rick_h
Jul 17, 2010 Fri Jul 16 19:13:36 GMT 2010
Is Out-of-Band monitoring the optimal way to monitor your I/T infrastructure including servers? Out-of-Band management is typically built into the server (usually in a dedicated embedded service processor) thus allowing access to server monitoring features without the need for installing a monitoring agent in the OS. In-Band monitoring using OS-based agents has been another popular way to know the health and status...

Got Virtualization?

What is the biggest factor that is preventing your organization from moving forward with virtualization?

Apr 30, 2010 Tue Mar 23 14:35:35 GMT 2010

Thanks to all who responded to the Virtualization question posted on Dell’s Storm Session platform last month. We are always looking for ways to better serve our customers. This is one way we get to hear directly from you.

As part of our online site for small and medium business we feature our Solutions Learning Center in which virtualization is one of our focus areas. We asked this specific question to pinpoint where the knowledge gaps around Virtualization are so our team can provide helpful content around this subject.

With the feedback you have provided here we know we need to provide more information on:

  1. The benefits of virtualization
  2. The product architecture of virtualization
  3. Specific use cases

Look for this new content, events and tools in the Virtualization area of Dell’s Solutions Learning Center - July 2010.

Thanks again for your participation. We look forward to hearing from you again in the future.
