Objects

The Windows Client and the supporting software on each host identify and manage storage resources in the form of objects. Default views of these source objects may be displayed in table, graph, list, or trend formats.

The object-oriented approach is designed to automate both personal and system-managed storage management tasks through a range of viewing, analysis, and automation facilities.
