Server agent, Server Administrator? What's the difference?

I'll admit that I've put in only an hour or two researching this but I can't seem to find any documentation that explains the difference between server administrator and server agent or what I should use? Both or just one? I will be deploying IT assistant soon and I plan on getting some training for OM but this would clear up a lot of confusion for me. Thanks for the help!

    The agent is installed by default when you install one of the latest versions of Server Administrator, such as 1.9.  The agent communicates with IT Assistant.  It is not necessary to load a separate agent.

    Thank you for using Dell Community Forums!

    I was told by Dell that Server Agent was used before Server Administrator came around.  So if you're looking at the downloads area of Dell's website and see options for both Server Agent and Server Administrator - choose Server Administrator.  It includes the server agent.
