the state of a system and to be notified of state changes.
Interoperability
The ability of management applications, consoles, and manageable products to work
together and make systems manageable.
Inventory management
The aspect of manageability that addresses the need to identify system and software
components. Instrumented systems can show a complete inventory of all components
and subsystems—information that’s highly useful for diagnosing problems remotely,
tracking assets, and optimizing configurations and performance levels.

LOM (LAN on Motherboard)

Manageability

administration. Aspects of manageability include asset management, configuration
management, fault management, inventory management, network management,
performance management, and system management.
Managed Client
A desktop, mobile, or server system which provides management information and
interfaces to a management application.
Management Application
