With LANDesk Man-agement Suite 8, IT managers can control the computers on their networks and implement software and security policies efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It includes asset management, device discovery, software license management, PC remote control, software distribution, and operating system recovery and migration.<\/p>\n
Macintosh support has also been improved in this version.<\/p>\n
To combat any network degradation and to increase performance to remote computers, LANDesk 8 provides bandwidth throttling, multicast distribution, and checkpoint restarts. For example, to distribute a security update to all Microsoft Office users or a new virus definition to all your users, you can simply specify the maximum bandwidth and eliminate congestion issues.<\/p>\n
Using its peer download technology, LANDesk 8 will serve the appropriate packages to a select number of users across your network’s various subnets, and those machines will in turn serve them to their peers.<\/p>\n
In the event that a machine shuts down halfway through a transfer, the byte-level checkpoint restart feature will ensure that the update gets efficiently completed upon restart.<\/p>\n
LANDesk 8 presents a lot of management capabilities in one package, as do competitors such as Microsoft SMS and Novell ZenWorks.<\/p>\n
While the initial experience can be a little daunting, the performance enhancements that LANDesk 8 delivers (namely the multicast and incremental file-transfer capabilities) are worth the initial start-up pains.<\/p>\n
