OVERVIEW

Wireless and Mobility are becoming pervasive inside data centers. It’s time we leverage these trends to simplify data center operations. OpenManage Mobile (OMM) is a software application that enables an IT Administrator to securely configure, monitor, and troubleshoot/remediate a server directly from a mobile device.

OpenManage Mobile can access servers and devices in a data center either remotely or at-the-server (i.e. when an IT Administrator is physically present in front of server).
• IT Administrators can access iDRAC or OpenManage Essentials console remotely over internal network. No special or additional hardware is needed for remote access.
• At-the-server access to iDRAC is enabled through Quick Sync 2 module or a Quick Sync bezel

When connected through OpenManage Essentials, OMM can access Dell EMC Servers, Storage, Networking, and Firewall appliances and any other supported third party appliance that is being managed through OpenManage Essentials.

When connected through iDRAC (whether remotely or at-the-server), OMM can directly access the server and perform various management functions.
