The Leading Systems Management Appliance Company
Integrated Computer Management Software Alternative
KACE™ is the leading Systems Management Appliance company. Our appliance-based approach to managing desktops, laptops and servers saves time and money for systems management professionals and their organizations. The award-winning KBOX™ appliance typically installs in one day, at the lowest total cost compared to software alternatives.
The KBOX Family of Appliances brings easy-to-use, comprehensive and affordable end-to-end systems management by utilizing an appliance-based architecture. They deliver a complete, pre-integrated bundle of operating environment and application software via a dedicated server appliance, which can be plugged into an existing network and immediately begin functioning. The appliance eliminates many of the complexities and costs of traditional computer management software solutions such as hardware procurement, software installation and integration. At the same time an appliance-based architecture provides exceptional performance, reliability and scalability through a purpose-built solution that is pre-tuned, hardened and self-healing.
KACE acquired Computers in Motion in September of 2008. Focused on making applications easy to distribute and secure through application virtualization technologies, the Computers in Motion products and principal engineers form the foundation for a new product team at KACE. While application virtualization is still a relatively new technology, the speed of adoption has accelerated tremendously and industry experts are now forecasting that the technology will become the dominant deployment approach in less than a decade. KACE is excited to take a leading role in redefining application virtualization to extend the technology to address other systems management pain points such as security and data management.

In addition to the KBOX Family of Appliances, KACE acquired AppDeploy.com in 2007. AppDeploy.com is the leading destination for systems and application administrators with over 100,000 unique monthly visitors. And now, any systems management professional using a KBOX appliance can access this application management and deployment information directly from within the KBOX management console via exclusive AppDeploySM Live functionality. AppDeploy Live eliminates time previously spent hunting through multiple vendor sites, user documentation, knowledge bases, user forums and readme files, as context-based information for the target application is available from a single, reliable community source.
KACE is backed by leading investors including Sigma Partners of Menlo Park, CA, Norwest Venture Partners of Palo Alto, CA, and Focus Ventures of Palo Alto, CA. Sigma's General Partner Pete Solvik, former CIO of Cisco Systems, and Robert Abbott, general partner at Norwest Venture Partners, both sit on KACE's Board of Directors.
KACE maintains headquarters in Mountain View, California with additional offices across North America, Europe and Asia. KACE boasts hundreds of customers across all industries, with a specialization in the unique systems management requirements of medium enterprises.
