The power of IT is mind boggling. It can be felt even in the simple day-to-day tasks. By Zenworks, we are sure to fully realize the paramount importance of arming ourselves with the latest technologies that shape our career and help us stay ahead.
What is Zenworks and how does it work?
It is a software that can control and manage computers in the network easily. Zenworks can manipulate the entire computers to have common desktop wallpaper, screen saver and other PC settings.
It provides secure, identity-based, Policy-Driven Automation for efficient application management and OS migration to deliver and maintain a trusted and stable environment, while eliminating administrator effort and overhead.
It helps JPhil defend the network against intrusion without placing a large burden to IT administrators.
It will enable OIT to serve you better by;
1.Remote controlling desktops if the support engineer needs to make a specific configuration on a computer they can easily remote control it via Zenworks console workstation.
2.Hasten software distribution can automatically deploy or uninstall software from the computer in a shorter period and fastest way without the IT staff leaving their desk. Can easily track all the software installed in a computer. It is also self healing - if software gets corrupted, Zenworks can reinstall and fix the corrupted file from that software.
3.Deploy group policies like 1PC 1 log-in policy & single sign (one password for log-in to LAN, Lotus Notes, INDRA, J-Portal & Internet not yet implemented).
4.Hardware and software inventory reports can produce inventory right away when required.
Zenworks is quite efficient. It makes a user unable to make any major changes on the computers setting, block unwanted software and make it unable to run.
The latest version of its eDirectory has new features to allow web-based management of key networking functions security software, reporting and monitoring capabilities, and improved network security and performance. The software, coupled with the Novell Secure Access suite, allows IT administrator to manage users Internet activity to safeguard the network against undesirable Internet content while maintaining performance levels.
