Reduced cost of ownership
Intel LANDesk Client Manager provides comprehensive self-help diagnostics. PC
Health provides local and remote alerting of potential problems, along with inventories of hundreds of hardware and thousands of software items. Automatic polling and alerting for memory and hardware conditions help minimize downtime and promote more effective troubleshooting. LANDesk Client Manager takes advantage of special hardware on the desktop PC to provide predictive failure mechanisms for catching problems with the hard drive, fan, power supply or
temperature.
In addition, LANDesk Client Manager takes periodic snapshots of critical configuration files for easy configuration management and restoration when needed. An administrator’s console enables network managers to unobtrusively view each PC workstation's status. With security set to full
access, managers can transfer files and remotely reboot the client workstation, as necessary.
