This mornings news. Fez ____________________ Tuesday May 25, 9:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Dell Broadens Manageability of Its Computer Systems With New Browser-Based Software Dell OpenManage IT Assistant Provides Customers Unique Asset Info Function for System History and Ownership Cost ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 25, 1999-- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL - news), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today announced new browser-based management software designed to help businesses better manage Dell systems and track total ownership cost. Dell OpenManage IT Assistant(tm), tailored for managing systems at the workgroup or departmental level, offers network administrators the ability to monitor the health of and handle asset, configuration and remote management for Dell systems on a network. With its simplified graphical browser interface, Dell OpenManage IT Assistant can be easily deployed and used throughout a business or institutional setting. Customers can also better track the history of individual systems and the lifetime cost of owning them with IT Assistant's unique Asset Info function. This management capability allows users to easily view and report on software and hardware upgrades, how the system was purchased and other useful financial information to allow for better management of corporate assets. OpenManage IT Assistant also provides basic reporting and monitoring for non-Dell systems that support either the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) 2.0, Common Information Model (CIM) or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) systems management standards. In addition, the software can help organizations reduce overall management costs and complexity by consolidating functions previously handled by two Dell management products, Dell Server Console and Dell OpenManage Client Administrator. IT Assistant also gives users the ability to export the volumes of data it collects, allowing customers to transfer that data into products like Microsoft SMS or Tangram Inc.'s Asset Insight for complete analysis and reporting of system inventory such as processor speed, memory, operating system and BIOS revisions. Dell OpenManage IT Assistant's final release version will be available for Dell® PowerEdge® Servers and OptiPlex® desktops in late June and for Dell Precision(tm) WorkStations and Latitude® notebooks in late July at no cost from www.dell.com/openmanage. Also in July, customers will also be able to request factory installation of IT Assistant on select systems or install it via an option kit. ''Dell is continuing to reduce hardware management complexity with tools designed to help administrators increase productivity and reduce costs through greater flexibility and ease-of-use,'' said Michael Lambert, senior vice president of Dell's Enterprise Systems Group. ''The ability to manage server and client hardware from a single console, from anywhere and at anytime, will help administrators better sustain the health of their networks and increase system availability.''
