As long as you don't worry about it beyond the protocol level, maybe. It doesn't appear to be designed to manage, or be managed by a Windows network.
You do have to stay within the same vendor to get the very high level of control and monitoring. Hardware monitoring is also a place Mac does better, as Apple knows all the hardware it can be running on, and has designed that hardware to allow monitoring. On the server end, the XServe has over 100 hardware monitors, all processed by a dedicated chip and remotely viewable even if the OS won't boot (Remote Desktop will work in that case too). Very good LOM. Oh yeah, the remote monitoring software for the whole network (hundreds of servers) is included.
