It’s without doubt that all enterprises today are concerned about worm and virus attacks. Up until now stand alone patch management software has been the norm. Up until now an ‘Add-on Module” has been the norm. Why pay $10.00-$20.00 per desktop extra when your patch management function can be included with your desktop availability solution.

Automated Asset Management Based Patch Management

WinINSTALL Desktop Management SUite and the Desktop Availability Suite’s Patch Management feature allows you to proactively manage patches and software updates by fully automating the collection, analysis, distribution and installation of patches across the enterprise, no matter what size.

Simple Drag-n-Drop Patch Management interface allows you to precisely control which machines or groups of machines will be scanned, by what criteria and when and how patches are distributed. Just set the desired options, click and distribute, OnDemand or scheduled. Provides validation to assure patches are applied successfully.

The flexibility of our Patch Management function allows administrators to work with patches in multiple ways, including patch criticality, patch grouping, patch type, annotation, machine grouping, machine and deployment templates and more. The solution consists of a central, extensible repository that stores various operating systems and application patches, as well as improved installation inventory and specific software update distribution options.
