with the Dell OpenManage Enterprise Services (OMES) plug-in In our OME + OMES versus SCG + OME comparison, we found that the OMES plug-in enabled us to do everything through a single console instead of toggling between the OME and Services consoles through an adapter. Reducing the number of virtual appliances you need to deploy and manage in your server environment is an additional advantage. Another is streamlining credential management. These overarching advantages can help companies divert admin resources to other important initiatives.

with the Dell OpenManage
Enterprise Services (OMES) plug-in
We onboarded three
ProSupport‑entitled Dell
PowerEdge™
R740 servers using
the OpenManage Enterprise
(OME) console twice: once
through the OMES plug-in
and a second time through
SupportAssist Enterprise, which
is now part of Dell Technologies
Services secure connect gateway
(SCG) technology.
While both processes required
similar time and effort, working
through a single console
simplified things.
