Virtual KBOX™ Systems Management Appliance
Saves you time and your company money versus traditional computer management software solutions
Our vision at KACE™ is to provide an appliance-based approach to systems management, to save time for systems administration professionals, while saving money for their companies. Virtual KBOX appliances (V-KBOX) further extend the benefits of an appliance-based solution for those companies that have deployed a virtual environment. Optimized to leverage VMware infrastructure, V-KBOX users are able to enjoy the advantages of a physical appliance with the added benefits of virtualization.
The Appliance Advantage
KACE appliances make efficient computer and server management a reality by providing a low cost alternative to computer management software using an appliance-based architecture. Simply install the virtual appliance, give the V-KBOX an IP address and you are ready to begin managing all of your desktops, laptops and servers. Unlike traditional computer management software, V-KBOX appliances typically deploy in one day. And because the V-KBOX is a virtual appliance, there are no dedicated hardware prerequisites, no professional service fees and no hidden costs. It's all in the appliance!
Virtual KACE Appliances – Easy-to-Use and Support
Built from the ground up to enable systems administrators of every level and background, KACE appliances are by far the easiest to use systems management solution available. From its simple plug and play architecture which virtually eliminates installation and maintenance, to its familiar web-like tabbed interface, V-KBOX is sure to transform your systems management generalist into a systems management guru, not in months or years, but days and weeks. And V-KBOX appliances can be instantly and completely backed up and recovered allowing fault-proof maintenance and ease of support.
Virtual KACE Appliances – Comprehensive and Scalable
KACE appliances pre-integrate and pre-configure all of the functionality needed to solve your end-to-end systems management challenges. From initial OS Deployment to software and hardware inventory and distribution, asset management, patch management, security, help desk and more, V-KBOX does it all. And V-KBOX appliances can be rapidly provisioned, reconfigured and moved, allowing organizations to easily scale their V-KBOX to meet dynamic requirements.
Virtual KACE Appliances – Affordable
KACE appliance owners enjoy the lowest total cost compared to traditional software alternatives. From plug and play deployment, to the ability to perform “one click” appliance software updates, and automated maintenance such as nightly backup, KACE appliances are designed to be both immediately productive as well as trouble-free for the long term, ultimately saving you the most time and money. And V-KBOX appliances allow organizations to leverage investments in VMware infrastructure and easily control the amount and cost of hardware dedicated to each appliance, as well as enabling organizations to run a multi-V-KBOX configuration without additional hardware.
