Agentless PC Audits Nothing New

Leading IT management solution provider enables truly Agentless PC inventorying and auditing

Topeka, KS (PRWEB) September 10, 2005 -- INSYSTEK®, the leading provider of Agentless IT management solutions announced today that comprehensive Agentless inventorying capabilities for the Windows platform are available for organizations of all sizes.

The ability to inventory remote systems for full hardware and software configurations without the use of an agent or vendor presence on the managed device is something that we have enabled companies to do since 1999" says Alex Turner, CEO of INSYSTEK. The capability to return extensive data on installed hardware and software without using agents or invasive data retrieval methods is nothing new. The technology itself has been available for several years but has been slow to be adopted by the industry given the agent-based approach to managing systems and the investment in these agent-based product lines."

INSYSTEK has developed a pioneering range of Agentless IT management solutions that includes INSYSTEK® Inventory Manager, a dedicated auditing/inventorying solution enabling administrators to precisely determine the hardware and software configurations on managed devices across their network. We have developed a solution that requires no invasive vendor presence on the managed device and - just as importantly - does not require the use of invasive data retrieval methods such as log-in scripts, proprietary ports, local system accounts, remote registry services and administrative shares" explains Turner.

In efforts to reduce the total cost of IT ownership, companies are today looking at implementing management solutions that are more secure than traditional offerings with a better return on investment across the board. Many traditional vendors are therefore beginning to move from a purely agent-based approach to a hybrid approach in which there is both an agent presence and the absence of an agent. These products however still do not provide some of the greatest benefits of Agentless solutions namely the rapid implementation times, product stability and a minimal maintenance/upgrade requirement. The ROI with an Agentless solution is greater and more immediate when we consider the absence of lengthy, costly implementation times and high maintenance overheads" Turners continues, we want to stress to organizations of all sizes that not only is affordable, effective Agentless systems management available today but it has been for the last several years."
