LANDeskŪ Management Suite has proved itself through the cost reductions, service improvements and efficiency gains it has generated. Without it, our pan European IT infrastructure would be difficult, if not impossible, to manage.
LANDesk Handheld Manager









LANDesk® Handheld Manager: The tools your enterprise needs to increase efficiency, save time, reduce costs, establish standards and ensure your mobile workforce has access to the tools they need.

LANDesk Handheld Manager uses proven LANDesk® management technologies for a handheld management solution optimized for the low-speed, intermittent connections characteristic of handheld devices. You gain the power to provide enterprise-level support to all your enterprise mobile devices with:

» Asset management
» Efficient software distribution
» Bandwidth optimization

Asset Management
LANDesk® Handheld Manager lets you automate asset discovery and inventory management in addition to asset monitoring and change control alerting. Its lightweight inventory scanner catalogs detailed hardware and software attributes and stores them in a central inventory database for license tracking, reporting and change control as well as easy targeting for handheld software deployments to increase efficiency.

Efficient Software Distribution
LANDesk® Handheld Manager makes it easy to distribute software packages and updates to both your wired and wireless devices using LANDesk® Management Suite’s familiar task scheduler. And LANDesk® Handheld File Exchange™ makes it easy to push out key documents or price lists to selected handhelds and to pull critical data files up to the core server for automated data collection.

Bandwidth Optimization
LANDesk® Handheld Manager is optimized for the low-speed, intermittent connections typical of handheld devices. Dynamic bandwidth throttling adjusts automatically for slower wireless connections, so software distribution tasks don’t monopolize bandwidth. And data compression reduces total traffic sent over wireless links. While checkpoint restart helps ensure that if a task is interrupted, it’s completed at the next available opportunity.
