Overview
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) is designed to make server administrators more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell servers. iDRAC7 alerts administrators to server issues, helps them perform remote server management, and reduces the need for physical access to the server.
iDRAC7 with Lifecycle controller technology is part of a larger datacenter solution that helps keep business critical applications and workloads available at all times. The technology allows administrators to deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, troubleshoot and remediate Dell servers from any location, and without the use of agents. It accomplishes this regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence or state.
