Dell Client Manager™

Dell Client Manager™ software helps make Dell OptiPlex™ desktops, Latitude™ notebooks and Dell Precision™ workstations the easiest and most cost-effective client systems you can own. The purpose of Dell Client Manager is simple: arm IT professionals with centralized, remote control and automate common tasks associated with owning client systems. The results are powerful: far fewer deskside visits and repetitive tasks, greater visibility and control of client inventory and usage, and improved consistency and compliance in the way client systems are configured.

unified, expandable architecture

Dell Client Manager provides three levels of capability to fit the varying needs and types of organizations. Each level—Standard, Plus, and Altiris® Management Suite™ for Dell Clients—builds on the previous level; each simply “snaps” additional capability into the Dell Client Manager unified management architecture, adhering to and leveraging the same familiar interface, the same database, and the same management agent.
