Manage and protect end-user devices over the LAN and across the Internet
Easily implement and maintain a flexible platform that automates a wide range of system management tasks
Deploy patches, security updates and applications as soon as remote devices touch the Internet—without requiring a VPN connection
Gain high-performance features that keep users productive while desktops, laptops and handheld devices are managed
Additional service options include firewall integration for device lockdown, integration with Cisco NAC and hosted Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection
Today's biggest challenge in systems management is efficiently maintaining visibility and control over the growing number and variety of devices used by the workforce. Laptops and handheld systems are particularly tricky, as they only connect sporadically from varying remote locations.
Fortunately, there's the iPass Device Management solution—the simple, cost-effective way to gain control over all your systems, including difficult-to-administer remote and mobile endpoints.
Implement a Single Solution for Local, Remote and Mobile Systems
Device Management is designed to give IT control over mixed computing environments. It serves LAN-based systems and is also optimized for devices that connect from outside the corporate firewall. The solution's full feature set is extended to Windows Vista (along with earlier versions) and handheld devices to cover all of your systems administration needs.
Increase IT Productivity with Automated Management Functions
Device Management significantly eases local, remote and mobile systems management. With accurate device inventory information and automated software distribution capabilities, there's no need to spend time physically touching every PC or mailing update CDs. Flexible scheduling, group targeting and comprehensive reporting all help to simplify management.
Protect End-User Devices, Safeguard the Business
Device Management automates patch assessment and remediation to help protect devices. Administrators define update conditions and then Device Management automatically builds and maintains a dynamic list of endpoints which require updating. After initial deployment, Device Management will reapply necessary patches or packages, if they are uninstalled.
Improve the End-User Experience and Productivity
Device Management is specifically designed to optimize systems administration while minimizing the impact on workers. Dynamic bandwidth throttling, checkpoint restart, intelligent reboot and other features make the update process as unobtrusive for users as possible, even those of slow or unreliable remote connections.
Additional Service Options
Device Protection: Optional on-demand service that mitigates the risks related to use of the Internet, USB ports and rogue applications, without requiring the up-front and ongoing investment in new enterprise infrastructure. This iPass-hosted service integrates Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection with the assessment, remediation and systems administration capabilities of Device Management.
Device lockdown: Optional integration with personal firewalls enables IT to apply rules for locking and unlocking the firewall at different points in the connection process, based on the remediation status of the device. This helps prevent out-of-date devices from accessing the Internet or the corporate network.
Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) Integration: Not only can you protect remote and mobile devices from threats on the Internet, you can also protect your network from vulnerable devices. Through integration with NAC, Device Management enables administrators to restrict devices that have not undergone remediation from accessing the network. It also ensures that remote and mobile workers get the security updates they need to obtain full network access and remain productive.
