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.
