Dell and Microsoft Integrations

In addition to our leading Dell-developed management solutions, Dell provides select partners with developer toolkits that enable them to integrate components of OpenManage functionality into their systems management applications. We then validate this functionality and certify the implementation when it performs to Dell standards. In the Future of Computing systems management session, we demonstrated the value our companies working together could bring to our customers. Here are some videos of a Dell Management Pack enabled Systems Center Operations Manager environment.
