Paragent Delivers Paragent 3.0 to Help Businesses Better Manage Their Networks
New release adds automatic software and inventory collection, remote desktop management, and advanced search to IT management application.
Muncie, Ind. -February 05, 2008- Paragent, LLC, a leader in providing IT professionals with real-time, on-demand data and information about their networked computers, announces today the commercial availability of Paragent 3.0. The new release of the Paragent desktop management software adds automatic software and inventory collection, advanced search and remote desktop functionality. IT professionals can benefit from the enhanced features, allowing them to monitor, control, audit and enforce policy regarding the use of information about their networks.
The new release of Paragent's IT management application provides the tools and information businesses need to get projects done faster, stay one step ahead of their users, and adapt to ever-changing environments. The addition of an agent-based technology allows IT administrators to collect a complete and comprehensive software and hardware inventory list automatically, whenever it is needed. Also, Paragent's desktop management software now has integrated search throughout the application, so finding the ‘needle in the haystack' is even easier. The new remote desktop management functionality allows administration, across the hall or across the country, the ability to access a remote computer and fix critical issues, run diagnostic, maintenance programs or simply walk a user through a complex task.
"We have found that many companies don't have the resources to hire a full-time IT administrator to look after their networks," said Timothy Ritchey, CEO and CTO of Paragent. "Our latest version enables anyone, from the company CEO to the administrative assistant, to take control of the company network, without the need to dedicate much time and resources to maintain it. Whether users are trying to fix a problem or uninstall software, Paragent makes it easier and more efficient."
No training is required for Paragent 3.0, a testament to its ease of use. The application can be deployed in minutes, and is designed for IT administrators to quickly get real-time information on their computing environment. It can be accessed anywhere and does not require special servers or reconfiguration of existing computer infrastructure. Paragent also provides proactive alerting and an easy-to-use ticketing system that will keep administrators informed before an issue becomes a problem. Whether they are looking at the performance of their servers and desktops, or want to stay one step ahead of their users, IT administrators will always be aware of all computing events based on their pre-selected alerts.
Recently announcing an open source version of its desktop management application, Paragent is one of the few Software as a Service (SaaS) companies pursuing an open source strategy. Previously, the product was only available as a proprietary hosted software service. The Paragent IT management application, known for its sophisticated Web-based interface and ease-of-use, eschews the traditional complaint of open source software being difficult to use, or only for those comfortable at the command-line. Paragent's strategy is to provide flexibility and long-term options to their hosted customers.
Paragent 3.0 desktop management software is available now. Prospective users can find more information at www.paragent.com, where they can also sign up for a free 30-day trial. Pricing of the product is based on a subscription model.
