"Remote server management is a must-have feature in all data centres, and Dell's iDRAC (integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) has always been one of our favourite solutions. Included as standard across Dell's Gen17 enterprise server family, the iDRAC10 delivers an impressive range of capabilities, and the latest firmware upgrade introduces a wealth of new features, including a radically revamped web interface."
"A major hardware change is that whereas previous PowerEdge generations have the iDRAC controllers embedded on their motherboards, the iDRAC10 is deployed as a DC-SCM (datacenter-ready secure control module). The DC-SCM moves all server management and security functions to a dedicated OCP-compliant edge-connected board, allowing Dell to use a standard form-factor across the entire Gen17 range and develop these functions independently of the server."
"Supply chain assurance and access security see major improvements as the iDRAC10 controller sports a dedicated security processor with a cyber-resilient architecture. It supports MFA (multi-factor authentication), integrated Root-of-Trust (RoT) encryption, and device-level attestation using stronger algorithms to verify the integrity of all hardware components during the secure boot phase. Dell iDRAC10 review: Design Introduced over eight years ago, the iDRAC9 controller hasn't seen any significant changes to its web interface for a long time."
iDRAC10 ships as standard across Dell's Gen17 enterprise servers and introduces a radically redesigned web interface with more informative server health displays. The controller is now deployed as a DC-SCM, moving management and security functions to a dedicated OCP-compliant edge-connected board and enabling a standard form-factor across the Gen17 range. Supply chain assurance and access security are improved through a dedicated security processor and cyber-resilient architecture. The platform supports multi-factor authentication, integrated Root-of-Trust encryption, and device-level attestation with stronger algorithms to verify hardware integrity during secure boot. Firmware version 1.20.60.55 enables the new interface.
