Endpoint Lifecycle Management
Organizations like yours increasingly face difficult challenges when it comes to managing endpoint environments. First, you must account for the rapid proliferation of devices and the effect that has on end user productivity. With users becoming more mobile or moving from one endpoint to another, you need to ensure that they remain highly productive wherever their jobs may take them. It is critical that you are empowered to provision users with the exact tools they need—anywhere and at any time.
Second, the day-to-day cost of managing desktop environments can be extremely high. Costs go up if you require specialized IT skills or lack a cohesive set of management tools. And if you do not have any automation tools to manage critical elements of the endpoint management lifecycle—from OS imaging to software distribution and remote management—you are further handicapped. Scenarios like these inflate TCO and impede IT's ability to serve the business.
Lastly, as organizations grow, their IT environments become more complex. For instance, endpoints continue to flood into organizations (desktops, notebooks, servers, handhelds, removable storage devices, etc.). Each kind of device relies on a different operating platform (Windows, Linux, Macintosh, etc.), and each is loaded with different applications. This complex mix of hardware and software can be overwhelming and a nightmare to manage and secure without standardization and the ability to seamlessly manage new technologies.
Novell Endpoint Management solutions provide leading identity-based management capabilities to automate each step of the lifecycle of your devices—from the time a device enters the network until it is retired. As the only identity-based management solution, Novell Endpoint Management solutions keep your end users productive—no matter where they go, what device they use, or when major IT initiatives—such as Windows 7 migration—impact the business.
In addition, Novell Endpoint Management solutions save you time and money with a centralized management console that easily automates manual IT tasks such as OS imaging, software distribution, remote management, and power management with just a few mouse clicks. Unlike other offerings, our endpoint lifecycle management capabilities deliver unparalleled flexibility. They support your choice of server infrastructure (operating platform, database, and directory services), manage desktops across multiple operating systems, and support physical, virtual, and cloud-based environments.
What's more, our solution lets you easily create and configure standardized operating environments (SOEs) for your devices to reduce IT complexity. Novell Endpoint Management solutions integrate multiple capabilities into a single, unified solution and help you marry the needs of IT operations and security and align your organization with ITIL best practices.
