Yes, indeed it is. That proactive support service is called Dell SupportAssist and is a plug-in for OME. It is a free service for ProSupport Customers.
Here are some helpful links to show how it works and how to request for the plug-in.
Thanks for your followup, Am still struck at that level, all i see is the message "Collection tool installation is unsuccessful". I have setup the credentials and also i have observed that support assist update has failed.
We still have not been able see why you're getting this issue. FTP is not required so that shouldn't be a problem. Have you already double checked the proxy settings?

I have deployed the Dell support assist plug from the OME bundle i had.
Also, configured all the setting and tested connections and it works.
However, in Devices tab I see collection status as "Installing collection tool" after entering credentials and waiting for 3-4 hours also.
Please help me to get through this and FTP is restricted in our network.
Is it a must to use FTP for this server ?
thanks in advance

Raj,
Sorry for the delay. Were you able to get past the "Installing collection tool" status?
