and printers on a defined network segment.

This improved representation, which includes the receipt of failure

and pre-failure alerts, allows Dell customers to assess, respond to,

and ensure the availability of Dell systems and printers

monitored in the Operations Manager environment. In addition to

improved availability, the Management Pack enhances the ability

to monitor and manage the hardware in a single management solution.
