In the latest upgrade to its systems management appliances, KACE has introduced a new push-based feature to its KBOX 1000 series appliance, which manages software configurations. By adding push, that effectively doubles the number of client PCs that a single KBOX 1000 can manage to 20,000 client PCs; before, updates were pull-based pings form agents situated on client machines.
Additionally, the 2000 series agentless box, which performs software deployment, has added support of remote management, where a single PC node at a remote site could, in effect, be deputized to deploy system images to local clients, rather than havng to rely on a single 2000 series KBOX. And it has added support of Mac OS 10.5, Linux, and 64-bit Windows, plus new graphical reporting features. These new features come barely a couple months after it added support for VMware. |
