its "WebSAM DC Operations Package," which enhances cloud and data
center operations. This addition will provide the foundation for a
powerful, flexible and valuable management infrastructure that
supports IT operations with automation, visualization, and change
and configuration to help deliver a higher level of service quality
to customers.
