Automated IT systems management software specialist Kaseya announced
a set of software tools that helps small and midsize businesses secure, manage and protect their networks. The tools are
designed to integrate with the Kaseya framework and provide IT
department and service provider customers with tighter security, better
network management and additional data backup options.
Available through cloud or on-premises delivery, the new modules
include antivirus, anti-malware, network discovery, network
monitoring, online backup, and Kaseya backup. With the company’s
updated network discovery and network monitoring, administrators can
view all the details of their network through a single integrated
management console.
Kaseya Antivirus (KAV) for Windows workstations is powered by Kaspersky
Labs anti-virus engine, while the company’s Antimalware (KAM) tool is
powered by Malwarebytes. The Network Discovery (KND) application finds
all Internet Protocol (IP) based devices connected and interconnected
to the network(s) and provides for automated agent deployment for
instant management of Windows, Mac and Linux devices, and Network
Monitoring (KNM) utilizes SNMP to provide a graphical view of CPU, RAM,
disk and network interface data.
The company’s Online Backup (KOB) application provides a multi-platform
(Windows and Mac OS X) and cloud-based folder and file backup service
based on incremental and point in time changes, while Kaseya Backup
protects full disk images as well as selected files to local data
stores. It includes off-site data replication supporting rapid disaster
recovery. The Kaseya 6.1 Framework and KAV, KAM, KND and KNM are
available now. KOB and Kaseya Backup will be available in the first
quarter of 2011, according to a company release.
“With the delivery of these new software tools, Kaseya gives everybody
the ability - from small business to enterprise customers - to more
closely align IT with business goals of their corporation,” said Bob
Davis, chief marketing officer at Kaseya. “By delivering both cloud and
on-premises solutions, our customers are gaining new functionality and
delivery options that suit their individual needs.”
Additionally, the company is delivering an updated version of the
Kaseya 2 framework that offers greater scalability for distributed
networks with the ability to support up to tens of thousands from a
single Kaseya Server. Available today, IT professionals can use
enhancements that include: time tracking, patch management, audit,
reporting and live connect to streamline business efficiencies.
Moreover, the framework delivers a new Linux agent, Mac Agent and APIs
for broader network management.
“The latest software tools from Kaseya are helping to provide enhanced
value-added services to our clients, while ensuring that their critical
IT systems are running optimally for their business,” said David M.
Bourgeois, president of My IT, which serves a variety of clients across
diverse industries throughout the Gulf South area of the United
States.
