The convergence of IT functions that has occurred in recent years— operations groups, for example, taking ever-greater responsibility for security—requires a corresponding convergence of management tools. Without unified, simplified and streamlined capabilities, management tasks in the distributed enterprise run the risk of becoming overwhelming in size and complexity.
BigFix® Lifecycle delivers the comprehensive and powerful approach that IT management needs today. Its single intelligent agent technology provides real-time visibility into the state of endpoints and gives administrators advanced functionality for managing
those endpoints. Now, administrators have a single tool for discovering and inventorying resources, deploying operating systems
(OSs), distributing software, controlling remote devices, and managing patches and other system changes.
BigFix Lifecycle provides an accurate and comprehensive “single source of truth” for managing hundreds to hundreds of thousands of endpoints from a single server. Deployed in as little as a few hours, this industry-leading solution can shorten update cycles, improve the success rates for provisioning, reduce IT and help-desk labor requirements, and boost end-user productivity.
BigFix Lifecycle Highlights:
- Manage hundreds of thousands of endpoints regardless of location, connection type or status
- Combines device discovery, operating system deployment, software distribution, remote device control, server automation, and
patch management - Fixlet® messages, delivered regularly by the BigFix development team, wrap the update with policy information (such as patch
dependencies, applicable systems and severity level) which is read by an intelligent agent so only the relevant updates for that
specific endpoint are downloaded and installed - Reduce management and infrastructure complexity, reduce total costs, boost productivity and deliver a high Return on
