A server group is a group of servers that you want to apply the same settings to.
You can configure a Smart Server Group to add servers based on a particular set of common properties, such as an association with a company, or you can configure a server group to add virtual machines based on custom rules.
In addition, you can configure a server group to discover applications as the applications are installed on servers.
