NetSupport Manager		More

Every organization, whether large or small, depends in part on their IT infrastructure to remain competitive & efficient and to ensure static workers and mobile users maximize their productivity for the business.

It therefore follows that the IT Department is one of the most essential resources within a business entity and so supporting this function is critical to any success, whilst ensuring capital expenditure and associated costs are kept to a minimum.

Historically Remote Control software has been presented as the most efficient solution in improving the responsiveness of the helpdesk and support departments. Its largest single contribution being the tool that removes the need for support staff to physically visit a users PC to resolve technical issues.

The dual benefits of this are that users are presented with speedier response times and so the down-time of critical applications is reduced together with support staff being able to operate more efficiently as their resources are 'on hand' and not 'on the road' visiting users.

As with other areas of IT, remote control has evolved, with users looking for multi-tasking solutions and the associated economies of scale, where they can rely on a single box product to perform a whole range of functions, where traditionally this was handled by multiple software packages and vendors.

NetSupport Manager (NSM) is no exception to this evolution. Combining unrivalled remote control with innovative desktop management functionality, NSM offers one of the fastest ROI's on the market.

NetSupport Manager is available fully localized in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese. More

Enhancements in NetSupport Manager 10 include:

 

NetSupport Manager 10 is the latest evolution in Remote PC support and desktop management. Monitor multiple systems in a single action; deliver hands on remote support or interactive training. Gather real-time inventory and system data. Support Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile devices from a single console. Operate over your network or the internet securely without the need for fi­rewall con­figuration.

• New User Interface - NetSupport Manager 10, now features a totally new "Vista" style interface, that runs across all features of the product.

• New Auto Group list views - In version 10, client lists can be automatically sorted and grouped by a range of criteria including OS, connection type and so on.

• Enhanced Thumbnails - Monitor mode thumbnails now offer greater clarity, a larger zoom mode and real time indicators showing active View, FT, Inventory, Registry, Command prompt and chat sessions.

• New Group Heirachy - Manager 10 now features a company heirachy allowing all known clients to be organised and structured into a single tree view.

• Enhanced Show mode - Manager 10 extends the Show mode to allow an Operator to Show their entire screen, just a selected Monitor or just a selected application to any number of selected clients in real-time.

• Enhanced Chat - version 10 now supports dynamic hyperlinks within chat sessions.

• File Transfer - Performance enhancements and now supports transfers over 4Gb.

Aruba Wireless Networks™ (Aruba) is a privately-held wireless networking company that manufactures and markets centralized 802.11 (Wi-Fi) security systems for enterprises and managed service providers.

The Company is positioned at the intersection of two of the world’s fastest growing technology markets - wireless and security - and is credited with developing the industry’s first modular WLAN security system.

Aruba’s Wi-Fi systems include modular and stackable wireless LAN switches, wireless application software and 802.11a+b/g access points that also function as RF monitors.

These systems allow companies to build large-scale structured wireless environments that can be easily deployed and centrally controlled. All changes, upgrades, and optimization of the wireless network are executed from a single point. This radically reduces operational expense and capital costs associated with deploying and managing discrete wireless appliances.

Aruba’s Wi-Fi systems are widely recognized as the most advanced in the world by leading enterprises across nearly every vertical market. Aruba’s customer base represents of a who’s who of Fortune 500 companies.

Products & Technology

Aruba Wireless Networks products are based on patent-pending Wi-Fi technology that radically simplifies the deployment of large-scale Wi-Fi networks, introducing new levels of wireless security and scalability. Aruba’s products include:

The Aruba 5000 ,the first modular wireless LAN security system for data center deployment. The Aruba 2400, a stackable 24 port Wi-Fi security switch for regional headquarters and dense building deployments. The Aruba 800, a fixed-configuration Wi-Fi security system for branch offices. AirOS, a suite of wireless applications. RF Director, a single point for all WLAN configuration and policy management.

Aruba AirOS

Built from the ground up, Aruba’s AirOS includes every-thing needed to deploy a secure wireless LAN. AirOS also includes value-added wireless applications that help corporations optimize their wireless environments. These applications include:

• AirOS RF management
  adds L2 authentication and encryption, virtual wireless LANs and RF spectrum management and security.
• AirOS VPN and firewalls
  adds VPN, captive portal, stateful firewalls advanced user management and wireless/wired QoS functions.
• AirOS wireless intrusion prevention
  adds advanced wireless security such as protection against impersonations, floods and other attacks.
• AirOS secure voice
  adds enhancements that prioritize the handling of voice traffic over Wi-Fi.

Aruba Access Points and RF Monitors

Wi-Fi certified, Aruba APs are dual-band, dual-purpose access and RF monitoring devices. Each Aruba AP is capable of supporting 802.11a/b/g services and providing concurrent RF monitoring. Aruba provides software programmable single and dual radio models.

Aruba APs are “thin” APs controlled by Aruba’s WLAN systems. From a central point, administrators can automatically control transmit power levels and channel assignments for hundreds of Aruba APs. Advanced functions such as self-healing, AP load balancing and sophisticated thresholds can be defined and enforced for every AP at the switch. Each Aruba AP provides both user access as well as RF monitoring services.

Sophisticated RF monitoring gives IT staff visibility into and control over the RF spectrum to protect against rogue APs, interfering APs and malicious intrusions.

Completely plug-and-play, Aruba APs only need to be connected to a Category 5 Ethernet cable over which power, serial and Ethernet connectivity is provided. Configuration of each AP is automatic and upgrades are performed at the Aruba Wi-Fi switch.

The Adonis 1000 DNS/DHCP Appliance™

When your DNS is unsecured, your network is vulnerable to attacks. It's that simple. Unplanned downtime is just one of the countless hurdles you could face if you don't secure your DNS. Spoofing, ID hacking, and cache poisoning are just some of the protocol attacks that, combined with the ubiquity of BIND software, will continue to make DNS a source of critical security issues, concerns, and vulnerabilities. Even more pervasive threats to DNS security involve server attacks, which continue to evolve at increasingly alarming rates. More
