“Intel Corporation today announced it has extended the Intel
LANDesk Management Suite to provide support for Linux-based
systems. A new software module for Intel LANDesk Management Suite
6.3, available today for download from the Internet, enables IT
managers to inventory the hardware and software assets on
Linux-based laptops, PCs and servers and take remote control of
those systems when diagnosing or repairing problems. ‘As many of
our customers deploy Linux-based systems throughout their
organizations, especially for web, e-commerce and file and print
servers, it is imperative that they have the tools to manage and
maintain these heterogeneous environments,’ said Ed Ekstrom, vice
president and general manager for Intel’s Systems Management
Division.
Previously, Intel LANDesk Management Suite 6.3 provided flexible
control of desktops running Microsoft Windows* 95, Microsoft
Windows 98, and Microsoft Windows NT, connected via the Internet or
corporate Intranet to Microsoft Windows NT Server and Novell
NetWare* networks, from a single point of administration and single
console. Now [it]… includes text-based remote control and
inventory tools for Caldera OpenLinux* 1.3, Caldera OpenLinux 2.2,
Red Hat Linux* 5.2, Red Hat Linux 6.0 and SuSE Linux* 6.1
systems.”
“The software module extending support to Linux-based systems is
available immediately, free of charge, for customers who are
current licensed users of Intel LANDesk Management Suite
6.3…”
