Among the tasks that fall under the client management umbrella are asset auditing and inventory management, operating system deployment and configuration, virtual machine management, software license monitoring, software distribution and patch management, remote control, mobile device management, network access control, desktop vulnerability threat analysis, intrusion detection, virus and spyware detection and removal, USB device management, client backup and recovery, and physical maintenance and cleaning.
In addition, SMC's virtual NIC support (VNIC) provides a clean and efficient way to maximise network and CPU efficiency in virtualised operating system deployments.
The new offering includes inventory and local cloning enhancements as well as an operating system deployment, software distribution, backup and disaster recovery system.
Regardless of whether this operating system deployment was done in error or performed explicitly to shift computing resources in near-real time during peak demand, or to test new configurations, LinMin makes it trivial to "undo" the provisioning event and roll a system back to its fully-operational known-good state that immediately preceded the bare metal provisioning event.
Meanwhile, nonpaid Linux server operating system deployments are predicted to grow more quickly than new subscriptions through 2013, leading to a net increase of nonpaid Linux server operating systems deployed compared to total worldwide Linux server operating systems being placed into service.
Its wide adoption throughout the global manufacturing industry is due in part to its ability to support a wide range of operating environments - including Windows[R], UNIX[R] and Linux - in a heterogeneous or single operating system deployment.
Understanding the need to minimize the cost and complexity of operating system deployment, KACE offers an appliance-based approach that allows IT administrators to cost-effectively manage OS and image provisioning.
