Dell Security Management Server Virtual
Technical Advisories
Dell Security Management Server Virtual is an all-in-one management solution that includes a management console, integrated
database, and key management system. The Dell Server runs in a virtual environment and is targeted for the small or mid-sized
enterprise with an existing VMware environment. Essentially, there is no difference between the features of Security
Management Server and Security Management Server Virtual except that Security Management Server Virtual supports a
maximum of 3,500 devices and has an internal database. Additionally, Security Management Server Virtual comes with a number
of preset default policies and has an installation wizard that makes initial deployment much easier for small to mid-sized IT
organizations.
