AdventNet Upgrades Desktop Central to Support Managing Desktops in WAN — Branch Offices & Roaming Users
ManageEngine Desktop Central Can Now Manage Desktops Spread Across the Globe From a Central Location
Pleasanton, California, August 5, 2008
AdventNet Inc. today announced the new release of Desktop Central, a Windows Desktop Management software, which helps enterprises in managing their desktops spread across the globe from a central location. Now, it is easy to patch, deploy software, take control of remote computers, and manage assets of all the branch office computers. The new release helps administrators to secure and standardize desktops from a single point irrespective of their physical location, thus saving huge time and effort.
Some of the highlights of this release include:
- Central management of desktops across branches and of roaming users.
- Uses secured communication via HTTPS/SSL — No dedicated VPN connection is required.
- Enables users to make help desk requests directly from their computers without requiring them to send an email or by logging into the help desk application
“We have more than 250 users with 7 branches. It was a difficult task to support those users desktop by a limited number of technicians. Using Desktop Central’s WAN solution it has become easy to support the users across all branches for trouble shooting, software installation, asset management, or patch management — it is like instant support to the users, which helps our IT department keep our users smiling. Now we can support our users instantly whether they are in Head office, branch office or in roaming,” says Akthar Gerab National Enterprises, a satisfied customer.
“Adding support for managing desktops in WAN is a significant milestone as it helps enterprises to avoid having multiple instances of Desktop Central thereby reducing the total cost of ownership,” said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, Director – Product Development at AdventNet. “As many organizations have a global presence for their business needs, the new release of Desktop Central will help them to manage their desktops with ease,” he added.
