Computek teams up with market leaders in delivering solutions that help manage, simplify, secure computing environments

Johannesburg, 08 Jul 2010

Computek is excited to announce its partnership with Faronics. The partnership allows Computek to expand its product portfolio and introduce Green IT Energy and solutions to manage, simplify and secure the desktop environment.

Computek's main focus is on the top three Faronics products, as follows:

Deep Freeze protects workstation configurations from accidental or malicious damage - without restricting user access. It reduces IT helpdesk requests and costs by up to 75% by making computer configurations indestructible. It does this by ensuring each and every desktop, laptop and server always remains in its perfect, original operating state that it was deployed in.

Organisations enjoy greater computer reliability with lowered support costs, while IT personnel are freed from tedious helpdesk requests. In fact, organisations that deploy Deep Freeze experience a dramatic increase in the number of users and workstations supported by each IT technician. Deep Freeze's disk protection still allows users to save their documents, spreadsheets, and other data to Thawed (unprotected) drives and partitions.

Power Save uses intelligent power management to ensure workstations are saving energy and money when they are not being used. Faronics Power Save dramatically reduces an organisation's operating costs by eliminating unnecessary computer energy consumption.

In fact, for every 1 000 computers Faronics Power Save is deployed on, organisations will save up to R1 800 per year. It keeps computers running when users need them, powers them down when they are inactive, and can prove its rapid return-on-investment through energy savings reports. Power Save is also non-disruptive - it analyses CPU, disk, keyboard, mouse, and application status before taking power management actions.

Insight provides teachers with total control over classroom computers and student activity. The benefits can easily be lost to distractive elements such as games, instant messaging, and Web surfing. Designed for educational computing purposes, Faronics Insight is the ultimate computer management system that empowers teachers with full control over classroom technology while keeping student activities focused. Faronics Insight enables teachers to harness the productive aspects of computers, while minimizing distractive behaviour and temptations.
