LiveManage™

Reduce Migration Costs by a Factor of 10

IT managers can reduce migration costs by a factor of 10 while increasing user productivity with LiveManageTM, an easy-to-use software solution that automatically extracts and preserves end-user customizations, metadata and files (user desktop “personality”) from traditional desktops and moves them to new or upgraded desktops or virtual images.

LiveManage protects user environments silently and automatically. Incremental changes are easy to capture and organize without user intervention. If disaster strikes, IT managers can deploy new hardware or re-image desktops remotely, then inject the most recent personality so that users are back to work in minutes – without requiring a costly desk-side visit.

Reduce Support Costs through Standardization

By extracting end user customizations from the OS and applications, LiveManage enables IT managers to efficiently protect, transport and translate the desktop personality to new environments to increase user technology adoption and satisfaction, achieve more standardization and reduce support costs.

With LiveManage, organizations can:

• Cut Costs through "Intelligent" Extraction of Data – LiveManage uses patented SmartShadow™ technology to intelligently extract and restore precise end-user customizations (data, OS and application customization, metadata) – as opposed to the entire OS image or Windows profile – to reduce storage requirements and improve performance.
  
  
• Defend Against Malware – Windows users are plagued by rootkit-based malware. Many organizations combat malware infestation by establishing automated processes to wipe hard drives clean and reinstall operating systems. If malware is suspected, stored data files must be cleansed and user systems must be re-provisioned with a clean image. In these instances, LiveManage can be used to restore the user personality instantly.
  
  
• Perform Data Migration, plus On-Going Backup and Translation – While many solutions simply handle migration of data, LiveManage helps companies perform on-going backups for disaster recovery as well as translation of settings to new or old OS and application versions, using SmartShadow technology.
  
  
• Leverage Existing Tools – LiveManage™ is simple to deploy and easily integrates with leading management tools.
