vs. Dell
The HP OneView advantage
HP OneView outpaces Dell’s management approach
Based on HP analysis as of May 2014 comparing the features of HP OneView 1.1 Dell Active Systems Manager v7.5, Dell OpenManage Essentials and CMC/iDRAC
Criteria HP OneView Dell Management Tools
Converged
A single management platform that supports HP DL servers, BladeSystem, 3PAR storage and ConvergedSystem products. Out of the box integration with VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat and HP CoudSystem.
Dell management requires multiple tools: -Active Systems Manager-Dell OpenManage Essentials-Dell CMC (blades)/iDRAC creating a more complex environment
Software Defined
Software defined lifecycle templates provides faster, repeatable IT service delivery at lower cost with fewer errors.
Dell element managers, Open Manage and CMC/iDRAC do not support software abstraction –to get templates requires ASM.
Automated
A simple, customizable automation through a RESTFUl API so that it becomes easy to script and automate processes greatly speeding up projects. An Open, programmable platform to scale your unique operations and project execution from serial to parallel.
Dell ASM does have an API but it has not yet been released to end users. From Dell, “ASM does have a complete API for all system functionality but initially it is recommended for Dell services or partners for integration purposes.” Source: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/chats/w/wiki/4634.4-
