LANDesk Management Gateway Appliance

Secure, Maintenance-Free, Anytime Anywhere Systems Management—Right Out of the Box

LANDesk® Management Gateway is exclusive to LANDesk® solutions and gives you the ability to securely manage systems over the Internet—even users outside your corporate firewall and at geographically distributed sites. Easily identify all the computer assets you have, how they’re configured and where they are on your network. All the gateway requires is an Internet connection—no dedicated leased line or expensive VPN is required.

Whether your users’ systems are at your location, in an office across town, or somewhere across the country or around the world, use the LANDesk® Management Gateway Appliance and manage systems anytime, anywhere—without punching a hole in your firewall. Patent-pending technology lets you use any existing Internet connection at remote offices or locations as well as certificate-based authentication and SSL encryption to manage any user anywhere as though they were sitting down the hall. Use the appliance and LANDesk® Management Suite and/or LANDesk® Security Suite and for any user system anywhere:

• Gather hardware and software inventory.
• Perform on-demand remote control.
• Perform inventory and vulnerability scans.
• Conduct software license monitoring.
• Access policy-based software and patch distribution.
• Perform patch management.
• Execute antispyware management.
• Carry out antivirus enforcement and management.
• Perform security threat management.
• Block applications.

Cost-Effective, Pain-Free Remote Systems Management
The LANDesk® Management Gateway Appliance lets you securely manage remote users without buying or maintaining a VPN or leased line. And without purchasing, installing, configuring or maintaining a server.

Simply plug in the LANDesk Management Gateway Appliance for a hassle-free way to manage and secure systems anytime, anywhere. Automatic updates keep your appliance up-to-date. And built-in system backup and recovery ensures your configuration and log information is always available. Choose to run a backup weekly or monthly. The appliance automatically backs itself up to not one, but two redundant internal disks to ensure you always have what you need.

Enabling Secure, Anytime Anywhere Management
The appliance acts as a meeting place for the remote client and your core server, even if servers are behind firewalls or rely on a proxy to access the Internet. The functionality is similar to an email Web portal where users communicate through the machine’s firewall to connect to the portal and then connect through the corporate perimeter firewall to the backend email server.
