Business Need
Microsoft release patches once a month, and frankly, we’re having a lot of problems managing the testing and deployment. The primary reason is that we have a huge number of remote users who rarely connect to our network, and this leads to a bigger issue where we need to be able to know quickly which computers are potential security risks. How does Viewfinity handle patch management for remote users?
Viewfinity Capability
Viewfinity Patch Management enables an organization to fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers that are on your network as well as mobile computers not connected to the internal network. For example, when Microsoft releases new security updates, the rules created by the Viewfinity administrator are applied without a remote, or even a local, computer needing to connect to the corporate network because the rules are created and made available in the Cloud. The security patches are delivered across whatever connection exists for the computer without having to wait until LAN-disconnected clients connect to the network to validate against new rules. Viewfinity Patch Management ensures that all assets are patched and secure – even in instances where employees use their home computer for business services.
ROI Considerations
- Minimizes network bandwidth usage and impact of network issues during the update process
- Optimizes the end user experience by minimizing disruption to productivity
- Improves patch management for mobile users since the mobile computer never has to connect to the corporate network to receive the proper updates
