Lower System Management Costs with Policy-Driven Automation

Today’s IT environments are complex—with virtually endless combinations ofplatforms, directories, systems, applications and patches. Add in the threats posed byviruses and the complications involved withsupporting mobile users, and the need tomanage these environments is obvious.What’s historically been a bit more unclear,however, is exactly how to go about manag-ing them in a way that doesn’t overwhelm ITstaff or increase costs to unsustainable levels.

Novell offers a solution that lowers your costof ownership through a unique policy-basedapproach to automating the complete man-agement of IT systems. Novell® ZENworks®

Configuration Management provides acomplete range of advanced systemsmanagement capabilities that previouslyrequired you to purchase, install, learn and maintain a multitude of point products. This policy-based solution is available inthree editions—Standard, Advanced andEnterprise—allowing you to choose thecapabilities that best match your systemmanagement needs.

Now a single, integrated solution offersadvanced capabilities that span change and configuration management, applicationdelivery, patch management, vulnerabilityassessment and remediation, remote man-agement, personality migration, standardoperating environment (SOE) deploymentand maintenance, asset and license man-agement, endpoint security managementand more.

Windows*, Linux* and Novell Open EnterpriseServer for Linux. It manages variousWindows operating systems and versions,including Windows Vista*, popular Linuxdistributions and handheld devices.

Accelerate Time-to-Value

We know you have more important things todo other than installing and configuring soft-ware. One of the main goals in developingZENworks Configuration Management wasto speed time-to-value for IT staff.

Simple installation. Get up and running in less than 30 minutes thanks to simpleinstallation and default configurationsettings. ZENworks even offers support for scripted installations.Prerequisite checking. Ensure a success-ful rollout by making sure you have all thenecessary hardware and software in placeon the server before installation.Automated device discovery. Quicklyand easily locate devices on the network,and simplify remote deployment of agentsthrough automated device discovery.Non-intrusive deployment. Don’t worryabout having to reconfigure your IT infra-structure or punch holes in your firewall.ZENworks Configuration Managementdoesn’t require either. It’s designed to letyou start small and grow with your organi-zation. While ZENworks ConfigurationManagement includes an embedded data-base, the solution also supports MicrosoftSQL Server* for larger deployments.

Retain Freedom of Choice

ZENworks Configuration Management givesyou the freedom to run the solution on yourplatform of choice and manage a variety ofoperating systems. It’s available in Standard,

“IDC found that the

IT productivity of the

companies surveyed rose

by an average of 45%

after deploying ZENworks,

resulting in an average

annual cost savings over

a three-year period of

close to $1.1 million.

When normalized for

company size, the savings

amounted to $14,816

per 100 users.”

came out on top.

We constantly have

new applications, and

ZENworks makes it

easy for us to deploy

them in days, rather

than weeks or months.”

Speed Application Deploymentand Updates

ZENworks Configuration Managementenables administrators to automate thedistribution of applications, patches andoperating system upgrades—ensuringdevices are always up-to-date.

Improved targeting. ZENworks Configur-ation Management includes predefineddynamic device groups that automaticallyinclude workstations or servers running thesame operating system version. You canalso create your own dynamic groupsbased on any inventory value. As newmachines come on line, you’re assured thatthey automatically receive the necessaryconfigurations and applications.

Also, because ZENworks ConfigurationManagement natively supports ActiveDirectory and eDirectory users, you cancreate ZENworks user groups that includeusers from multiple directories, furthersimplifying the management of applicationsfor those users. Assigning applications tousers regardless of which domain theyreside in can be accomplished with asingle action.Non-disruptive application deployment.

Keep administrative tasks transparent to end users. ZENworks ConfigurationManagement supports bandwidth throttling,checkpoint restart, auto-verification, self-healing and other features designed toensure the performance and integrity ofapplications. Since applications are cachedlocally on the workstation, applications arealways available—even to mobile users.Auto content replication and distribution

points. Place applications and content

close to your end users. Location aware-ness for applications enables users to pullfrom the nearest sources, enhancing theperformance and availability of applicationresources. You can auto-replicate applica-tions on shared or dedicated resourcesthroughout your environment. It can evenbe a high-performance desktop sitting in a branch office where no server happensto be available.Blackout schedules. Protect business-critical systems from being updated with new content at the wrong time—likefinancial systems at the end of the quarter.System update. Stay current on the latest version of ZENworks ConfigurationManagement. Use this feature to updatethe ZENworks Configuration Managementproduct itself from the Internet, bringingyou the latest updates and fixes.

An intuitive Web-based interface coupledwith secure remote control and delegated

administration features lets help desk staff quickly assist users.

“Except for the smallest

of organizations and

select areas of large

organizations, organiza-

tions should swiftly move

to automated patching

methods. The movement

toward automated patch

methods will parallel

organizational plans to

centralize services and

standardize desktop

configurations.”

“ZENworks is an absolute

lifesaver for our IT staff.

We no longer have to visit

individual workstations

to fix software-related

issues and can do

everything from a central

location. That is a huge

advantage because

some of our sites are

350 miles apart.”
