1.3 The Solution: ZENworks Configuration Management

ZENworks Configuration Management is based on an entirely new architecture designed to provide a secure, highly usable, open environment for managing all of your Windows devices. ZENworks Configuration Management provides you with a single, modular architecture that maximizes flexibility and scalability, simplifies and speeds management throughout the device life cycle, minimizes processing demands on managed clients, reduces bandwidth consumption for management processes, and uses standards-based protocols to seamlessly integrate with your choice of user directories and object databases.

ZENworks Configuration Management lets you manage systems based on user identities, roles, groups, and locations, so IT can work seamlessly with the company’s business organization and policies. ZENworks Configuration Management gives you a secure, Web-based console for unified control over all management tasks, from virtually anywhere.

If your organization is undertaking an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) initiative, ZENworks Configuration Management is the right choice for you. It has been built as a modular set of components that use industry standards to build a product and set of solutions that completely aligns with ITIL best practices and disciplines.
