Keytech Sentinel - Asset Management
Asset Management, Compliance & Assessment
for Desktops and Laptops
The need, by technology and business leaders, to manage increasingly valuable and interconnected end-user assets (personal computers, laptops, and PDAs) as well as other networked devices (point-of-sale terminals and kiosks) has not gone unnoticed. The sheer number and complexity of these devices has grown exponentially and hand-in-hand with their relative value to the enterprise. This makes it imperative that all these connected devices are operating correctly and in compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements.
Keytech have specifically designed the Sentinel Asset Management service to address these issues. Using the main component, the Management Platform, the service forms a comprehensive solution intended to provide Enterprise-class management capabilities to all levels of an organisation irrespective of their size. It can be used for networks with interconnected desktops, laptops, and other devices, at a price point and with a deployment model that makes sense. Using the Keytech Sentinel service can visibly lower desktop management cost while significantly improving the overall asset management and operational business continuity.
Keytech runs and manages a single instance of the hierarchical multi-tenant platform this delivers the latest desktop and laptop management capabilities at a fraction of the cost and time it takes traditional enterprise management software vendors to deploy a solution. This unique patented technology also enables the on-demand delivery of best-of-breed management services to any computer connected to the Internet through an integrated, web-based management console. This can lead to the following benefits:
- On-demand delivery model – reducing potential capital overspend due to unnecessary components.
- Internet-based, network neutral deployment – reduced network costs.
- Integrated, web-based management console – allowing web-browser based support from any location.
- Secure communication channel to the PC – improving privacy and reducing data compromise risks
- Plug-and-play open architecture – reducing deployment costs
- Comprehensive security at all levels – allowing for remote deployment and access control.
The service can include the following components::
- Compliance Services - Enables realtime management visibility into PC hardware and software assets, tracks software license usage, automatically distributes software and ensures regulatory and license compliance regardless of the PCs’ location. The software services in the Compliance Services Suite can be purchased as a suite or individually depending on your specific compliance needs.
- Asset Discovery - Enables IT administrators to scan their networks to discover, identify, and inventory all IP-based devices including desktops, laptops, servers, printers, and routers.
- Asset Management - Provides ongoing visibility and control over every desktop and laptop in the organisation. A simple Internet connection is all that is needed to track all the company’s desktops and laptops, regardless of their location.
- Data Encryption - Intelligently encrypts and protects data on a lost or stolen computer to prevent its compromise or misuse. A comprehensive and multi-layered approach to PC data security, Data Encryption effectively secures data even when the PC is off-line. Most importantly, the Data Encryption service ensures organisational control of that data even when the user has lost control of the device.
- Software Management - The Windows Software Distribution service automates the distribution of software applications and upgrades, schedules distributions and tracks their status. It utilises the Management Control Centre, a centralised, easy-to-use management platform, to enhance software distribution efficiency, increase compliance with software licensing agreements, and improve end-user productivity.
- Patch Management - Enables the distribution of Microsoft Windows and Office patches consistent with IT and business policies. Ideally suited to deliver patch management services to both corporate and remote systems, Keytech's Patch Management Service gives IT organisations greater control over and visibility into the patching process.
