applications that provide some kind of intergration with Symmetrix or underlying functionality. For example i have a host that is loaded with Solutions Enabler, Timefinder intergration module for Exchange and VSS provider ..when i run command you mentioned on my Exchange server i get this:

Server_A      10.120.30.23    RDBMS EXCHANGE   EMC Corp         8.0.535.0   -
                              VSS Provider     EMC Corp         3.2.0.0     -
                              ResourcePak_TEIM EMC Corp         4.0.0.32    -
                              storapid         EMC Corp         6.4.0.0     -

on my server running EMC Control Center i see this

ecc           10.120.30.45    ECC              EMC Corp         5.2.0.4     -
