Intuitive, Graphical User Interface

Dashboard-driven interface helps administrators find information and complete tasks faster.

Auto-Discovery & Inventory

Automatically discover Lenovo System x and Flex System infrastructure, and gain at-a-glance views of hardware inventory status.

Firmware Updates & Compliance

Reduce manual effort required to track and comply with user-specified firmware levels throughout the system lifecycle.

Configuration Patterns

Rapidly provision and pre-provision multiple systems using configuration patterns, which contain a single set of defined configuration settings. Predefined UEFI settings can help jumpstart optimal configuration patterns for specific workload environments.

Bare Metal Deployment

For simpler and faster delivery of systems, the solution uniquely deploys operating systems or hypervisors onto bare metal servers.

Security Management

Grant users role-based access and authenticate them using XClarity’s internal LDAP server, an external Microsoft Active Directory server, or third-party enterprise single sign-on or multifactor authentication service that supports Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Establish highly secure communications between the management solution and managed endpoints by implementing NIST SP 800-131A and FIPS 140-2 cryptographic standards.

Upward Integration

Manage hardware systems from many common IT applications such as Microsoft System Center and VMware vCenter virtualization management tools through XClarity Integrator software plugins. 

REST APIs & Windows PowerShell

Manage systems on your terms, with Windows PowerShell scripts or from external, higher-level cloud orchestration and IT service management software tools leveraging available REST APIs.

SNMP, SYSLOG, & Email Forwarding

Forward Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Syslogs to external event consolidation software tools to aggregate, correlate, and monitor hardware events and runtime issues.
