To keep desktop and laptop computers running smoothly — and safe from viruses, hackers and security attacks — you must maintain constant vigilance over software patches and updates. Yet in today's highly distributed IT environment, it's increasingly difficult to apply the latest patches, because remote and mobile PCs can be hard to track, manage and maintain.
Now you can easily keep your PCs up to date with a cost-effective Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. Dell™ Patch Management automates the patch management process for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, as well as applications from leading vendors, such as Microsoft, Adobe®, VMware® and Apple®. You can rely on this service to:
- Ensure patch compliance — Force deployment or removal of patches to all managed PCs, whether in or out of network
- Streamline patch labor — Automate distribution, reporting and testing; use enterprise-wide policy-based deployment delays
- Enable policy-driven patch management — Set multiple patch policies by vendor, product or severity, so you can control how computers in your environment are secured
- Minimize impact on your network — Set policies on bandwidth at the client or network level; use a local repository to decrease bandwidth consumption
Patch Management is part of the suite of Dell Distributed Device Management (DDM) services, which can help you reduce the costs and risks associated with PC management. Contact us today to learn how Patch Management can help you centralize and automate software and OS maintenance.
