The Dell Management Pack for MOM enables the Microsoft Operations

Manager to accurately indicate the status of Dell systems 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

monitored in the MOM environment. In addition to improved

availability, the Management Pack enhances the ability to monitor

and manage the hardware in a single management solution. In short,

the Dell Management Pack integrates with MOM to assist the discovery

and status management of Dell systems.
