The Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) is an out-of-band management platform on certain Dell servers. The platform may be provided on a separate expansion card, or integrated into the main board; when integrated, the platform is referred to as iDRAC.
It mostly uses separate resources to the main server resources, and provides a browser-based and/or command-line interface (CLI) for managing and monitoring the server hardware.
DRAC has similar functionality to the lights out management (LOM) technology offered by other vendors, for example, Sun/Oracle's LOM port, HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter and Cisco CIMC.
