scVENUS Functionality - Overview |
scVENUS offers you system management that is reliable, consistent and cost-effective. It includes modules for configuration administration, software administration, user and file system administration, and inventory and monitoring:
scVENUS Configuration Administration
Use scVENUS to quickly raise the productivity of your workstations. Each configuration is recorded by scVENUS and can be reproduced at any time. In this way, you can reconfigure your workstations quickly and efficiently to a previously defined state: Rapidly integrate a client into your network or put it swiftly back online after a defect. Using scVENUS scripts, you can automate your administration tasks. As a result, your administration gets done quickly and faultlessly.
scVENUS Software Administration
Using only one single command from your administration workstation, you can speedily install software packages on other workstations in a heterogeneous network. You store the required software packages in one or several software depositories. During installation, scVENUS determines the properties of each workstation and automatically installs the correct package from the nearest software depository - and it can do this, of course, in parallel on several workstations.
scVENUS User and File System Administration
Using scVENUS you can simply and efficiently handle the administration of your users and file systems over the broad range of Unix, Linux and Windows platforms. User names and passwords are effective throughout the whole network. Your users can also access home and project-data directories from any workstation. So the heterogeneity of your network is no longer an issue.
scVENUS Inventory
Allow scVENUS to manage your assets and keep a constant overview of your workstation environment: scVENUS automatically collects all the information about the installed hard- and software. You can supplement these details with organizational information such as their location or inventory number.
scVENUS Monitoring
With scVENUS, you can prevent problems before they occur: Monitor the critical properties of your scVENUS clients, such as CPU load, free memory or unused disk space. scVENUS collects this data automatically, analyses it according to your settings, and notifies the administrator about potential problems.
