Network Management enables enterprises to greatly reduce the complexity and cost of managing heterogeneous networks, desktops and servers. It creates a common infrastructure for automating application and patch distribution, customization, and simplifying troubleshooting. Network Management enjoys a strong ROI because it provides efficiencies and cost savings that result in greater business agility and security. It also lowers the total cost of ownership while providing a more scalable and secure enterprise network by leveraging existing infrastructure. As the industry’s first Managed Services Integrator, Caveo Technology provides comprehensive design and implementation expertise to help your IT department take full advantage of a Network Management solution.

Why You Need Network Management
Enterprises have many networks, portals, applications and servers that have to be installed, configured and maintained. This can consume large amounts of staff time and IT budgets. The Gartner Group estimates that more than 70 percent of network costs are spent in network administration, support, education, and other hidden costs. Solving problems for end-users is often a full-time job for IT staff members working constantly just to maintain consistent desktop and server configurations throughout the organization.

Network Management enables enterprises to control all desktop and server configurations, distribute patches, scan for viruses, and integrate with inventory tools to check service availability. It standardizes and automatically distributes applications from server to server, then to the desktops providing controlled enterprise-wide software distribution. It helps maximize network bandwidth, save time, and increase user productivity by enabling unattended “lights out” application distribution and user–specific distribution at login. By configuring the application launcher, applications can be delivered to remote and laptop users who are often disconnected from the network for periods of time. Network Management can also define a help desk and employee training solution to effectively prevent or resolve your users’ IT issues dramatically decreasing help desks calls. It can even provide remote-control help to users unfamiliar with applications and other workstation functions. It provides the necessary foundation to leverage all resources as a competitive business advantage.
