OVERVIEW

Delivering managed services today requires more than just a product – it requires a highly extensible platform that can grow with you and your team. The Dell Remote Monitoring platform provides this platform for growth – integrating both remote management and monitoring into a single easy-to-use and deploy solution for you and your customers.
Extensive Out-of-the-Box Monitoring
Industrial-Strength Event Management
Agentless Architecture
Unique Business-Level Reporting

Since 1999 our product has been the standard by which other remote management products are judged. We continue to innovate with a singular goal - providing your team the most cost-effective solution for the operational delivery of managed services. Many of our partners have achieved the highest managed devices per engineer ratio in the industry – in many cases exceeding 400:1. Here are the key reasons our technology is unmatched in the managed services industry.

Extensive Out-of-the-Box Monitoring
How Dell Does It
  • Extensive lab testing and thorough review of documentation
  • Consultations with partners to determine their critical monitoring needs

The Results
  • Filters for over 12,000 individual events, traps, and thresholds across hundreds of different device families and applications, all built into the product for fault and performance monitoring
  • The hundreds of device families include Cisco and Avaya VoIP systems, Windows and UNIX servers and desktops, 8 brands of firewalls, 30 different applications, and much more.

Why this is Important to You
  • You don't have to build or maintain these filters and performance counters – it just works, right out of the box.

Industrial-Strength Event Management
How Dell Does It
  • Our event processing includes the ability to alert on events by time of day and by the absence of events.
  • Our alerts can be set to automatically clear when a problem is resolved.
  • Our distributed model filters and processes events at the site under management.

The Results
  • We can process the thousands of events per hour generated by a firewall or other device.
  • You can customize your event handling to match your needs.
  • You can be notified when things didn't go as planned – such as when a backup routine didn't start properly or finish on time.
  • You don't have to deal with alerts that correct themselves if you don't want to.

Why this is Important to You
  • You can't expect reliable security monitoring if you don't have a scalable solution.
  • You can't run your business if you waste all your time with false alerts, yet you won't be happy if you miss important ones.

Agentless Architecture
How Dell Does It
  • We access all devices and applications using patented remote technology rather than agents.
  • Our proxy incorporates all our capabilities into a single image that you install once per customer site and centrally maintain.

The Results
  • No need to deploy agents on every monitored machine.
  • You can monitor platforms on which you could never install an agent, such as network and security devices.
  • All your systems are easily managed from a central console – beyond initial install there's NO client-side administration.

Why this is Important to You
  • You can easily cover your entire network.
  • You eliminate a potential barrier to deployment – agents.
  • You can enable monitoring faster and more reliably than you can with agents.

Unique Business-Level Reporting
How Dell Does It
  • We've built business-level reporting using sophisticated queries from our rich SQL database.

The Results
  • Two-page Performance Scorecard report that includes server and network utilization, and asset, fault, vulnerability and patch summaries.
  • Two-page Security Scorecard report that includes the following: asset, account use and failed login, vulnerability, patch firewall event, and IDS event summaries.
  • A multi-page Monthly Service Report that covers the above with more extensive drill-down in a narrative form.
  • These reports are automatically generated and can be automatically emailed to clients.

Why this is Important to You
  • Reporting helps illustrate the value you're providing to your customers.
  • Automated report generation saves you time and money vs. manual generation.
