Take a look at Carl Coken's article on Nexus SC and you'll understand the reference.  Not only is Microsoft System Center Essentials part of the bigger Systems Center Family, there are partner's who extend the value of these products.

As part of your Network Management planning, you would want to include not just the OS, database, middleware and Web servers but also the servers that they run on, the network devices and the client systems. Our server partners deliver Management Packs for their servers, this includes all of the major server vendors including Dell, IBM, HP and Intel. Large companies as well as small organizations both benefit from these partner Management Packs for not only hardware but software tools deployed in the environment. No Management Pack provided by your software vendor?  No problem, Tools are available to enable you to build your own solutions.

Essentials 2007's role in the System Center family is to cater to midsize organizations who need the feature set of the large enterprise without the higher price point. The extended family includes the partners who provide the Management Packs that allow you to create a custom solution for your unique needs.
