ZEN 11 SP2: Top 10 Upgrade Reasons

• Mac Management

• Brute-force security of Full Disk Encryption

• Deploy Windows 7 faster

• Powerful application management

• Embrace the power of location

• Change Management

• Secure your devices

• Unified Web-based management

• Use what you know

• Better than ever


Mac Management

• Software Distribution and Application Management– Quickly deploy software to end users via push deployments

– Allow users to run software on demand with ZENworks Window

– Full application lifecycle management

• Inventory– Get detailed hardware and software inventory

– Use in conjunction with ZAM to ensure compliance of Mac OS-X software


Mac Management

• Remote Management– Provides password based remote control and ssh support

through ZCC

– Leverages the native VNC server on OS-X

• Patch Management– Identify missing patches on your Mac OS-X devices

– Deploy the patches

– Set baseline patches


Brute-Force Security of FDE

• FIPS-140-1 certified software encryption– Full disk encryption means that all data is always encrypted with

the selected encryption algorithim

• FIPS-140-2 certified hardware encryption– When used in conjunction with Seagate FDE drives

• Preboot Authentication– Ensures the drive cannot be read until the user authenticates via

username/password or smartcard/pin

• Centrally managed– No need to be in the office to receive and enforce an FDE policy

– Centrally managed helpdesk functionality and emergency recovery


Deploy Windows 7 Faster

• Use the new high performance NTFS driver– Driver must be downloaded from Tuxera via ZCC link

– Driver can then be injected into the ZENworks engine

– Existing images need to be reuploaded in order to see performance increase

– Once done, the performance of a standard Windows 7 image is typically 200%-300%


Powerful Application Management

• ZENworks is the only Endpoint Lifecycle Management product that provides true application lifecycle management

– Deploys the application the first time

– Launch the application in a customized fashion subsequently

– Fixes the application if it breaks

– Removes the application if the user should not longer have access

– Common capabilities across Windows, Linux and Mac


Embrace the Power of Location

• All supported platforms use location to ensure that the user has the best experience possible

– Granular location detection means you can easily differentiate locations

– Location controls where the user gets ZENworks content from

– Location controls how fast users get ZENworks content

– Location can be used to control what policies / applications are available to a user or device


Change Management

• Ensure changes to your environment only go out when you want them to

– All changes to bundles or policies are automatically made in a sandbox

– Only devices flagged as “test” will see the changes

– After you test and certify the change, you can publish the change

– Author vs Publisher rights means you can grant different individuals different levels of access


Secure Your Devices

• Integrated Endpoint Security Management– Provides folder encryption, wifi management, vpn

enforcement, port and storage device control, and application control

• Integrated Full Disk Encryption– Fully secure the hard drive on all of your Windows devices

• Integrated Patch Management– Identify patch related security issues that exist in your

environment

– Remediate the vulnerabilities

– Set baseline patches


Unified Web-based Management

• All management capabilities are available from the ZENworks Control Center

• Basic management paradigm is consistent across all ZENworks products

• Single agent/server/console means you only need to deploy ZENworks once

• Additionally capabilities can be enabled via a license key


Use What You Know

– Linux backend (RHEL/SLES)

– Windows backend (2K3/2K8/2K8R2)

– Virtual Appliance


Better Than Ever
