Introduction
The Dell Command | Cloud Repository Manager is part of the Dell Client Command Suite, a set of industry-leading tools that
help simplify management of Dell commercial client devices.
The Cloud Repository Manager is a cloud-based application that allows IT administrators to create and manage one or more
custom catalogs or repositories for updates to the Dell commercial client systems within their environment. System updates
include updates to drivers, firmware, BIOS, and some Dell applications. At the endpoint, IT administrators can use the Dell
Command | Update tool to install the updates.

centralized library of saved custom catalogs. IT teams can collaborate and access shared catalogs regardless of location, saving
time and effort and ensuring consistency in the update process.
