1.5 Unified Management Console (UMC)

Managing Open Enterprise Server (OES) services is made easier by the Unified Management Console (UMC). Highly responsive, simple, and secure management tool for managing small and large heterogeneous deployments. As a single point of administration for OES resources, it takes the place of the multiple management consoles.

UMC provides customized access to network administration utilities and content from virtually anywhere using the Internet and a web browser similar to iManager.
