BigFix DISCOVERY 7: VISIBILITY CHANGES EVERYTHING
It’s time for a change in IT systems and security management. What worked before simply can’t handle today’s security threat velocity, business value demands, and regulatory pressures. Your environment is highly mobile, globally distributed, and only intermittently connected to your central network. You cannot see what you need to see. You cannot inspect what you need to inspect. You cannot confirm what you need to know. Even with a full compliment of anti-malware, security configuration management, and IT automation products, you still cannot see. You’re simply not in control.
BigFix changes “can’t” to “can.” BigFix visibility and control enables you to see, change, and enforce the health and security of all your computers in real-time, at global scale.
Pervasive Real-Time Visibility
BigFix delivers pervasive, real-time visibility into every computer in your infrastructure—fixed or mobile, server or client, Windows, Vista, Unix, Linux, or Macs. Administrators can zoom in to see the inner workings of any single machine or zoom out to track the entire infrastructure.
Continuous Real-Time Enforcement
With BigFix, desired changes, actions, and repairs transact in real-time. BigFix policies are continually enforced on the endpoint in real-time. In the office, on-the-go, over public or private networks; you can close the loop with confirmation that desired actions have in fact taken place. Every endpoint reports its actual (not assumed, projected, or proposed) configuration status in real-time back to the BigFix Console.
Combining pervasive real-time visibility, real-time action, and real-time knowledge changes the frame of reference of endpoint/server management. With first pass task success rates of 97 percent and an average of 25 percent previously unknown endpoints newly discovered, BigFix enables you to conquer IT time and space as you always wished you could.
Add Capabilities, Not Hardware, Memory, or People
When it comes to resource demands and requirements for dedicated infrastructure, BigFix Discovery 7 is nearly weightless. One generic $5,000-10,000 server is all you need to manage up to 200,000 endpoints. The BigFix Agent installed on endpoint devices runs in less than four megabytes of system memory and requires less than two percent of available processing bandwidth, even when running at full throttle. Better yet, BigFix’s ability to consolidate management processes, tools, and functions results in a net reduction in products, agents, and traffic clogging up endpoints/servers and networks.
Embrace and Extend – Not Rip and Replace
With BigFix you don’t need to throw out what you already have. Leave the forklifts in the warehouse. BigFix has a long history of performance improvement it brings to incumbent system management, anti-malware defenses, and compliance reporting tools.
