Large enterprises often have thousands of devices, servers, and applications that have to be managed, and a single eG management console may not have the capacity to handle the entire enterprise. To support such enterprises, multiple eG managers may be needed. However, if each of these managers operates independently, they may not provide a common view of the entire enterprise. Hence, it could be very cumbersome to have the IT staff of the enterprise login to different eG management consoles to get a complete view of the status of the target infrastructure.

A SuperManager is a manager of managers that provides a consolidated view of the status of the IT infrastructure that is being handled by different eG managers. The eG suite offers two options for configuring a super manager. The eG SuperManager is a 100% web-based component of the eG suite that provides a consolidated view across disparate eG manager. On the other hand, an administrator can use the Computer Associated Network and System Management (NSM) product as a super manager.
