Redcell System Commander
Complete Data Center Control for System Administrators
Redcell System Commander provides a single unified view for health monitoring, compliance auditing, troubleshooting, patching and agentless management of multi-vendor client and server environments. Key functions include deep system discovery, inventory management and reporting, real-time configuration, health management, remote access and control, patch provisioning, and performance monitoring.
The deep discovery feature provides comprehensive visibility of server and client resources. This information is synchronized with the CMDB to provide a complete picture of assets and dependencies that can be represented in highly customizable reports. Additionally with Redcell, administrators can create and customize a variety of topology views in various formats. All views let the user gain additional environmental knowledge by "drilling down" with a mouse click to components within those that appear in topology.
Real-time device configuration management offers a normalized presentation for multi-vendor environments and can greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for maintaining, licensing, and training IT staff on the use of multiple point solutions. Redcell presents a single pane of glass view of the datacenter and provides IT administrators the power and flexibility to manage it via a customizable permission based graphical user interface (GUI).
System health monitoring and remote management is supported through a variety of ways including CIM indications and/or SNMP traps, and any system with a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) compatible with IPMI v1.5 or above. IPMI allows a standards-based approach for monitoring health and remotely managing heterogeneous system types independent of both OS type and power state. Redcell can also integrate seamlessly into existing framework deployments by acting as a consolidation point for SNMP or SYSLOG events from previously deployed 3rd party agents.
Redcell's hardware and OS patch provisioning allows IT administrators to quickly and easily push BIOS, Firmware, OS Driver and security updates out to managed WindowsTM systems and groups of systems across the network from one central console. Being able to quickly identify and remediate servers that need to be patched improves the efficiency of IT resources, ensures system security and stability which lowers the risk of downtime. By selecting from the key performance indicators available in Redcell Systems Commander, you can monitor and chart key subsystems such as processor, memory, network interface and disks to identify bottlenecks, provide insights for redeploying applications, and identify systems that need to be upgraded, redeployed or retired.
Consistent with all Redcell products, the Redcell Systems Commander automates manual configuration processes with group operations---one-to-many capabilities that reduce errors and increase productivity. Examples of automation include applying configuration and security changes to groups of systems, OS/Firmware updates and many other operations.

System Commander Benefits
Increased Operational Efficiency
- Staffing needs and errors are reduced while performing daily tasks such as discovery, group operations, compliance and change management, health monitoring and problem resolution.
- Centrally registers and tracks all systems CI elements including their status, credentials, CI management attributes and relationships.
- Using CMDB and a common set of configuration primitives in a vendor and device independent manner shortens learning period and reduces chance of errors in day-to-day operations.
Fast Problem Resolution
- Single "pane of glass" view into deployed Windows, Linux and Virtual systems and clients allows for quick problem resolution without the use of multiple point tools.
- Mapping between physical and logical assets is maintained in centralized Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB) and can be represented in highly customizable reports or via a topology view.
- Extensive event management system, live performance data and customizable performance monitoring aid in problem resolution.
Reduced Management Costs for Virtualized Infrastructure
- Supports both physical and virtual systems management using integrated CMDB and common set of tools and functions.
- Reduces expenses associated with multiple point solutions licenses and reduces learning curve.
- Mapping of virtual infrastructure to physical systems -- reduces or eliminates need for third party software.
System Commander Features
Easy Management Server Installation
- Consolidates deep management capabilities on a single server install, that accommodates lifecycle management needs for 1000s of devices.
- Upgrade options for distributed, clustered, or high availability deployments.
Agentless System Management
- Device Driver architecture provides deep insight and control of managed devices using standards based and vendor supplied instrumentation without agent deployment on managed systems.
- Monitoring for IPMI v1.5 capable systems allows for in/out of band monitoring and management independent of power or OS state.
Deep System Discovery
- Flexibility to discover your environment many different ways including via subnet, IP range, IP address or host name.
- Both physical and logical components are discovered for physical and virtual systems.
Change/Compliance Management
- Quickly detect changes to the IT environment through event-driven or proactive change monitoring.
- Provides comprehensive reporting of configuration changes-meaningful reports on what changed, who made the change, when the change was made and authorization status.
Health Management
- Standards-based health management via WMI/CIM, SNMP, Syslog and IPMI Patching Provisioning and Compliance Auditing Consolidate remote deployment of system OS, FW, and BIOS patches.
Inventory Management and Reporting
