Lenovo has announced a new version of the LANDesk Management Suite that will, for the first time, provide users direct access to the full portfolio of Lenovo`s award-winning ThinkVantage Technologies.
Deshan Govender, Desktop Brand Manager, Lenovo South Africa, says: "This new software is designed to support IT departments and will help empower businesses to take full advantage of managing their fleets of ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops, with immediate system updates and tracking across entire PC fleets."
ThinkVantage Technologies are tools that reduce PC users` dependency on IT staff, thus increasing business productivity and lowering total cost of ownership. The new ThinkVantage Technologies supported by LANDesk Management Suite Version 8.7 include Client Security Software, Active Protection System, ThinkVantage System Update, Productivity Centre and Absolute Computrace Integration.
The benefits of the LANDesk Management Suite are that IT managers can now distribute more network updates to remote workers, maintain consistent images as users transition to new systems, and track assets to prevent them from being lost or stolen. The solution provides maximum flexibility by supporting all ThinkVantage Technologies deployed on Lenovo PCs as well as other vendors` systems.
"LANDesk for ThinkVantage provides a true bird`s-eye-view for more accurate, secure and efficient fleet management for maximum PC performance and user productivity," Govender says. "This launch extends that manageability to the IT team overseeing these systems, whether it`s a dozen in one city or thousands throughout the world."
Lenovo also announced support for Entech Taiwan`s OnScreen Manager (softOSM), which enables PC displays to be self-configured, auto-rotated and tuned quickly and precisely to individual specifications. The integrated solution will allow customers to seamlessly manage all ThinkVantage Technologies including softOSM-managed displays through a common LANDesk for ThinkVantage interface.
