The 3Com Enterprise Management Suite addresses the complexity of
network management by presenting a truly object-oriented view of all
aspects of its system. In EMS everything is considered an object, which
includes devices, folders, logical views, users, scheduled operations, and
configuration templates. This object-based approach is fundamental to
giving you the flexibility to customize EMS to your specific needs.
Objects are stored in different types of containers (or folders) in EMS.
Folders are used for objects such as users, scheduled events, and
configuration templates. Equipment and logical view folders are also a
type of container, but they have a recommended purpose, which is
described in detail in the next paragraph.
