1 Using Client Management Solutions Client Management Solutions provide standards-based solutions for managing client (user) desktop, workstation, notebook, and tablet computers in a networked environment.
Configuring and deploying a software image The computer is shipped with a preinstalled system software image. The initial software image is configured during the first-time setup of the computer. After a brief software "unbundling" occurs, the computer is ready to be used.
When HP Client Manager (installed on a client computer) is used with Altiris Solutions software (installed on an administrator computer), HP Client Manager provides increased management functionality and centralized hardware management of HP client devices for the following IT life-cycle areas: ● ● ● ● Inventory and asset management ◦ Software license compliance ◦ Computer tracking and reporting ◦ Computer lease contract information and fixed asset tracking System software deployment and migration
HP OpenView Radia Management Solutions (select models only) HP OpenView Radia Management Solutions automate the management of software such as operating systems, software, software updates, content, and configuration settings to ensure that each computer is maintained in the correct configuration. With these automated management solutions, you can manage software throughout the life cycle of the computer.
System Software Manager System Software Manager (SSM) lets you remotely update system-level software on multiple systems simultaneously. When executed on a client computer, SSM detects versions of both hardware and software, and then updates designated software from a central repository, known as a file store. Driver versions that are supported by SSM are denoted with a special icon on the HP driver download Web site and on the Support Software CD.
2 Using Intel Active Management Technology (select models only) Intel® Active Management Technology (iAMT) allows discovery, repair, and protection of networked computing assets. With iAMT, computers can be managed whether they are on or off. The iAMT solution is available on computers with Intel Centrino® Pro mobile technology.
