Enterprise Scalability

Manage your enterprise efficiently from a single, central console. You can distribute tasks automatically to each system’s local core server and reduce repetition by replicating public queries, packages and delivery methods across your enterprise servers. Intelligent, location-aware Dynamic Preferred Server features enterprise package distribution capabilities that offer functional load balancing and fault tolerance. And the ability to offload data collection and insertion to a non-core server further increases efficiency.

Secure Management Over the Internet

LANDesk^® Management Gateway is exclusive to LANDesk^® solutions and enables you to securely manage systems over the Internet—even users outside your corporate firewall and at geographically distributed sites. Easily identify all the computer assets you have, how they’re configured and where they are on your network. All the gateway requires is an Internet connection—no dedicated leased line or VPN is required.

Software License Monitoring

Scan for known and unknown applications as well as define and track unknown applications. Stop users from launching software with expired licenses, even when they’re not connected to the network. Maintain a comprehensive look at software license use and easily respond to audits with extensive application usage, license compliance reporting, and license reporting features. In addition, powerful query tools let you quickly analyze and understand your IT environment.

Ultra-efficient Software Distribution Technologies

A variety of features available in LANDesk^® Management Suite make software distribution unbeatably efficient. LANDesk^® Dynamic Preferred Server provides functional load balancing and fault tolerance for enterprise package distribution that eases the burden of distributing packages to users that move from location to location. LANDesk^® Targeted Multicast™ technology minimizes bandwidth when distributing large packages to multiple users and without dedicated hardware or router reconfigurations. LANDesk^® Peer Download™ technology uses local bandwidth to access packages previously delivered to a subnet. Plus task-based distribution capabilities and policy-based configuration management are also available.

OS Deployment and Profile Migration

Easily migrate users and their profiles to new operating systems. Automatically deploy applications and quickly provision “bare-metal” machines without dedicated servers on each subset, boot floppies or network reconfiguration. The included OS deployment tool lets you perform OS deployments and organize OS configurations.

Remote Control and Problem Resolution

Remote control and problem resolution capabilities in LANDesk^® Management Suite offer everything you need to reduce costs and the demands on your help desk resources, as well as to improve performance, security and efficiency. And only LANDesk^® solutions include LANDesk^® Management Gateway that lets you perform on-demand remote control securely over the Internet.

Inventory Management

LANDesk^® Management Suite includes all the inventory management capabilities of LANDesk^® Inventory Manager to let you discover networked computing devices, maintain detailed hardware and software inventories, gather and track custom data fields, monitor software usage to reduce licensing costs and maintain compliance, plan upgrades and maintenance and quickly respond to audits. And a unified asset repository brings it all together, letting you turn raw data into pure business intelligence.

Intel^® vPro^TM Support

When managing Intel^® vPro^TM-based hardware assets, support for Intel vPro technology extends your management abilities with out-of-band discovery and remote healing regardless of the OS or system state. Plus you have the ability to use redirect screen output and boot redirection to repair non-responsive systems.

Support for Desktops, Laptops, Mobile Devices and Multiple Platforms

Take active control of all your computing platforms and demonstrate compliance to security and configuration standards with extensive platform support for Windows, Mac OS, Unix, Linux and handheld and embedded device operating systems.

Security Management Over the Internet

LANDesk^® Management Gateway is exclusive to LANDesk^® solutions and enables you to manage system security over the Internet—even users outside your corporate firewall and at geographically distributed sites. Easily perform patch, anti-spyware and security threat management, execute antivirus enforcement, and block applications. All that this patent-pending gateway technology requires is an Internet connection; no dedicated leased line or VPN is needed.

Advanced Vulnerability Detection

Standard and high-frequency vulnerability scanning lets you detect antivirus, OS and application patch needs quickly and based on your own needs and your chosen level of detail. Custom scans let you define the specific conditions scanned for, while threat analyzer enables you to identify configuration risks.

LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention (HIPS)

LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) layers added security to thwart malicious attacks and rootkits using application control that prevents applications from executing in malicious ways right on your individual host systems. Use it to extend the power of LANDesk^® Security Suite or LANDesk® Patch Manager and LANDesk^® Antivirus, or use it with Symantec antivirus or McAfee Enterprise. Access everything you need for the most complete, layered LANDesk^® security solution available.

Remediation Tools

With LANDesk^® Security Suite’s anti-spyware capabilities, you can protect systems in real-time with access to the comprehensive LANDesk database of known spyware, adware, Trojans, key-loggers and other malware. And with Connection Control Manager, your powers of remediation start before a system even connects to your network. This feature lets you limit network access to authorized networks or IP addressees, block communication with specific networks and control access to disk drives, communications channels, ports and modems. Plus with application blocking, your security is solid.

Antivirus Enforcement and Firewall Capabilities

Built-in antivirus enforcement lets you manage your McAfee, Norton, Sophos, Symantec or Trend-Micro antivirus solution right from the LANDesk^® Security Suite console. And you can enable and configure an XP SP 2 firewall directly from the same console.

Patch Management Tools

LANDesk^® Security Suite’s extended patch management capabilities help you assess OS and application patch needs, quickly research and prioritize patches, and automate patch distribution and maintenance. LANDesk^® Targeted Multicast™ technology lets you speed patch deployments to multiple targets while minimizing the bandwidth used to reduce total network traffic without dedicated hardware or router reconfiguration. And LANDesk^® Dynamic Preferred Server enables you to keep up with users no matter where they are or how often they change locations.

Assurance

Maintain secure configurations using LANDesk^® Security Suite’s role-based administration and policy-based management tools. You control who can alter your corporate security policy with baseline configuration capabilities. And reporting capabilities include trend graphs and security policy, spyware reports, and the LANDesk^® executive dashboard that gives IT and executives a single, graphical view of the critical things that concern your enterprise.
