Dell KACE Delivers First in New Line of Systems Management Appliances for Small Businesses

Today, Dell KACE™ announced an innovative new line of
systems management solutions developed specifically for small
businesses. Applying its established technology to a new market
segment, Dell KACE’s latest desktop management product eases the
repetitive tasks small business IT departments deal with every day,
giving them the freedom to focus on more strategic projects.
Dell KACE’s new line of appliances offers small business IT
managers an easy, cost-effective and reliable solution for routine
IT tasks such as: hardware and software inventory, software license
compliance and asset tracking and management. In addition, it gives
them increased visibility into their IT network, enabling them to
proactively address configuration issues before they undermine
security. With a strong focus on ease-of-use, the new appliance is
a true “plug-and-play” solution that virtually eliminates the
repetitive and time-consuming tasks of software and hardware
inventory management.
“I’m excited about the M300 for two reasons. First, it
represents the first in a family of new systems management
appliances designed specifically for the needs of companies with 50
to 200 computers – and that’s never been done before. And, second,
our beta customers are telling us that this is a breakthrough
product for them. These asset and license management features are –
for the first time – immediately accessible to IT generalists in
very small organizations,” said Rob Meinhardt, general manager of
Dell KACE.
For about the price of a laptop computer, the new appliance
gives IT administrators visibility into the exact state of their
computers, servers and peripheral equipment. Dell KACE designed the
Dell KACE M300 Asset Management Appliance with these top small
business IT benefits in mind:
- Save time and empower productivity
– The M300 dashboard allows users to easily check alerts,
software license compliance status, recent activity on the network
and pending tasks with a quick glance.
- Save money – The M300 helps
minimize end user downtime with its PC inventory and software
license management solution. It also enables customers to fully
utilize PC hardware and software assets rather than making
unnecessary new purchases.
- Ease-of-use – The M300 appliance
provides “plug-and-play” deployment—simply plug it in, connect it
to the network, and it discovers, maps, and inventories network
assets.
- Improve service levels – Upon
installation, the M300 manages many repetitive tasks associated
with IT inventory, thereby allowing IT managers to focus on more
strategic issues and projects.
- Avoid network security problems
– The M300 provides an accurate inventory of assets that
companies can use to enforce PC configuration policies to help
identify and prevent rogue software from opening security
holes.
Recent Dell ACCELEREV corporate research with SMB customers
revealed businesses falling within the 50-200-employee range are
still using time-intensive methods for tracking hardware and
software inventory as well as managing software license compliance.
Fifty percent of IT managers interviewed still use spreadsheets to
manually track IT assets. The Dell KACE M300 Asset Management
Appliance continuously monitors software, offering IT personnel the
freedom to spend more time on strategic projects and providing a
higher level of service to users.
“Prior to deploying the Dell KACE M300 Asset Management
Appliance, we spent a significant amount of time manually tracking
license compliance. In total, we had three different ‘point
solutions’ to watch over our entire asset tracking process,” said
Danny Daniels, IS manager for the city of Menlo Park, Calif. “We
brought in the M300 and literally deployed it in under ten minutes
–- it’s a true ‘plug-and-play’ product. The Dell KACE appliance can
perform multiple asset management-related tasks and because it’s so
simple to use and so effective, team time has been freed up to
focus on other strategic IT projects.”
The Dell KACE family of systems management and deployment
appliances fulfill the systems management needs for organizations
of all sizes, from initial computer deployment to ongoing
management and retirement. Dell KACE products are available as both
physical and virtual appliances, directly from Dell or through its
partners.
Available today, the Dell KACE M300 Asset Management Appliance
is priced at $2498, with a one year warranty and recommended
maximum of 200 nodes. To learn more about this new appliance
