iDRAC 8

iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller – summary

iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller delivers revolutionary systems management capabilities:

-          Quick Sync bezel provides at-the-server management through NFC-enabled Android devices using the free DELL OpenManage Mobile app.  Configure a server and collect server inventory with a simple “tap” between the server bezel and mobile device.

-          Zero-Touch Auto Configuration can deploy a server out of the box with no intervention required; reducing server configuration time by as much as 99%.  Just rack, cable, and walk away.

-          iDRAC Direct lets customers use a USB cable or a USB key to provide configuration information to the iDRAC.  No more crash cart!

-          Simplify motherboard replacement with Easy Restore: key settings, such as BIOS, NIC, and iDRAC as well as licenses are automatically restored from the front panel.

-          Agent-free, real-time RAID management and configuration: use iDRAC to create and manage virtual disks, without reboots!

-          Increase datacenter security: Support for UEFI Secure Boot, and new System Erase capabilities for server repurpose/retirement, and new SNMP v3 Trap support.

-          Built-in Tech Support Report replaces the need for downloaded support tools; health reports are built right into iDRAC and can be uploaded to Dell Support.
