PC Configuration Management solution group

Overview

The PC Configuration Management solution group includes four solutions targeted at pro-active monitoring and maintenance of PC configurations. Some of these solutions are single function, while others are multi-function and comprise a number of separate kits, each of which has its own version control and numbering.

The modules particular to this solution group are -

• Configuration Monitoring and Diagnostics ('Diagnostics'). This is a standalone Windows hosted application with a Windows agent for the monitored PCs.
• Software Distribution. This module is very often combined with one or more of the asset management modules, enabling software distributions to be tightly targeted to PCs meeting configuration standards and/or running particular applications. It is therefore integrated with the Asset Manager Pro kit, with the software distribution function enabled by license key. For organizations that already have PC asset databases and software inventory, Software Distribution will also function standalone.
• Application Streaming. This technology is licensed by Vector on a per project basis. Contact support@vector-networks.com for further information.

Diagnostics is combined with the Asset Discovery and Inventory modules from the IT Asset Management solution set in the Configuration Manager Pro solution.

Software Distribution and Application Streaming are combined in the Software Provisioning Pro solution.
The current production releases of the modules in the PC Configuration Management solution family are:

• IT Asset Discovery, Inventory and Mapping - v5.8
• Diagnostics - v2.1
• Software Distribution - v5.8
• Application Streaming - contact support
