Remote Access
Controller with
Dell Lifecycle
Controller (iDRAC
with LC)
iDRAC with Dell Lifecycle Controller allows administrators to deploy, update,
monitor, and manage Dell servers from any location without the use of agents in a
one-to-one or one-to-many method. This out-of-band management allows the
updates to be sent from Dell or appropriate third-party consoles directly to iDRAC
with Dell Lifecycle Controller on a Dell PowerEdge server, regardless of the
operating system that may or may not be running.
