Customers Review KBOX's Remote Site Management

Remote Site Management and Remote Administration

Bandwidth-friendly, Synchronized Remote Provisioning

With the increasing reality of multiple, remote sites within growing organizations, the ability to deploy systems from a central location is critical to reducing the time and cost associated with managing systems at these sites. Travel previously required to deploy systems can be eliminated, as can the shipment of media and systems. KBOX™ offers a variety of remote site management and remote administration capabilities that allow for the effective deployment of systems at remotes sites.

KBOX Virtual Remote Appliances

KBOX Virtual Remote Appliances allow a single centralized KBOX Systems Deployment Appliance to stage and deploy disk images, network OS installs, drivers and applications to remote sites without the need for dedicated hardware or personnel at remote facilities. KBOX Virtual Remote Appliances are easy to deploy and maintain, and dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of managing a multi-site organization. They include integrated virtual infrastructure allowing deployment on almost any Windows server and granular control over the timing and contents of staged deployment assets. Scheduled incremental synchronization and bandwidth throttling help minimize network utilization while keeping all remote sites updated with current deployment assets.

From the KBOX Systems Deployment Console, the administrator can stage specific Scripted Installations and K-images to each remote site appliance. Each deployment asset will be versioned, so administrators can easily identify what versions are staged across their network. Any changes made on the Systems Deployment Appliance can be automatically pushed out to a remote site appliance on a configurable schedule to simplify image maintenance. The specific time of synchronization and the bandwidth utilized can be configured allowing administrators to minimize the impact on their network.

USB and CD support

It may be impractical to deploy the KBOX Virtual Remote Appliance at some locations. KPE USB and KPE CD provides a convenient mechanism to locally boot remote systems to KPE from a USB drive or CD and then connect to the centralized KBOX for access to the full deployment library. Once connected to the central KBOX any defined deployment task can be executed on the target system. For computers that lack a good Internet connection, KBOX allows you to include a K-image along with KPE in a USB drive. The KBOX Systems Deployment Appliance makes it easy to generate USB or CD deployment assets from the Deployment Console.

Centralized Deployment Library

Whether utilizing the KBOX Virtual Remote Appliance, KPE USB, or KPE CD, all images, network OS installations and related assets can be referenced from the Centralized Deployment Library. This makes it much easier to ensure that outdated images or network OS installations are not deployed to systems, improving deployment reliability and saving administrators valuable time.
