Device Class

A Device Class entry is hardware, firmware, or an operating system – something ResorsIT treats as a device or platform to manage, not as an application to run. Operating-system distributions are the clearest example: a Linux or BSD distribution, or another OS, is the substrate other tools run on, not a tool you launch.

How ResorsIT integrates it

• Managed as a host, appliance, or OS image rather than an app or a Hub tile
• Provisioning, imaging, and lifecycle rather than SSO or a proxy route
• Firmware and hardware appliances fall here too, where the “product” is the device itself

When a tool lands here

Today this label is applied mainly from the operating-system categories (Linux distributions, BSD operating systems, and other operating systems). Hardware and firmware entries also belong here. Software that merely runs on a device is classified by how that software itself is used – as a Web App, a Deployment Payload, or a Library.
