Agentless Systems Management Here to Stay

Leading IT management solution provider enables completely Agentless systems management

Topeka, KS (PRWEB) September 8, 2005 -- INSYSTEK®, the leading provider of Agentless IT management solutions announced today that Agentless systems management is available for all key management areas, including asset tracking, software distribution and performance monitoring.

INSYSTEK has developed a complete range of Agentless IT management solutions that enable the management of remote networked devices without the use of any vendor code (agent or client) on the managed devices. We have been a leading presence in the Agentless systems management arena for the last 6 years." explains INSYSTEK CEO, Alex Turner. We were one of the first companies to realize the power and benefits of the CIM schema; a proponent of an Agentless approach from our companys inception." The CIM schema allows for the interchange of management information between heterogeneous management systems and applications. We have been offering truly Agentless solutions to organizations, giving them the ability to holistically manage their systems without an invasive agent presence, since early 1999."

Truly Agentless solutions do not require an agent; neither do they use the invasive and unsecured data retrieval methods that some other agent-free" products do. Some vendors provide products touted as agent-free, but rather they are applications that employ a zero footprint or lightweight presence approach; deleting the invasive agent once it has gathered data and then re-introducing it to the remote system when further functions need to be performed. Its interesting to see how many vendors are starting to make the move from agent-based approaches to one that incorporates an agent-free aspect for systems management in the industry today" detailed Turner.

The full range of INSYSTEK solutions includes INSYSTEK® Inventory Manager, INSYSTEK® Control Center, and the INSYSTEK® NSMC - together these solutions enable Agentless asset tracking, software distribution, and performance and availably monitoring.

Agentless systems management solutions provide a multitude of benefits to organizations and IT administrators, with the trademark of Agentless solutions easier and faster implementation times. As a result, the cost savings over agent-based implementations can reach up to as much as 75%. Agentless management solutions also enjoy a very minimal maintenance requirement which further reduces costs and increases both the speed and the rate of return on investment."

Agentless systems management is not only here to stay -- it has been here for several years --receiving comparatively little attention as a result of the fact that the big players in the systems management market have traditionally adopted an agent-based approach and therefore promoted this method as the most effective means of managing an environment" outlined Turner. This is rapidly changing today and the shift validates the Agentless position weve taken from the very start on the issue of Agentless vs. agent-based management."
