Introducing BES Technology
11.01.2009
The BigFix Enterprise Suite (BES) solves the increasingly complex problem of keeping your critical systems updated, compatible and free of security holes. The BES Console uses patented Fixlet® technology to identify vulnerable or aberrant computers on your network and then allows authorized personnel to correct these issues across any subset of the network with a few simple mouse-clicks.
Rolling out a security patch or a software update can be accomplished in minutes, allowing you to keep a step ahead of potential network problems while maintaining a standardized operating environment. You can track the progress of each computer as updates are applied, making it easy to gauge the level of compliance across your entire enterprise.
BES allows you to create and print an audit trail of each issue and its resolution to meet regulatory or policy guidelines. At any time and from any browser, you can view or print graphs and reports summarizing conditions across hundreds of thousands of networked computers.
Using an exhaustive library of Windows, Macintosh, Unix and Linux Inspectors, BES can retrieve useful computer properties from each of the BES Clients. These properties can be used to target your own Fixlet messages, tasks and actions. You can also use these retrieved properties to generate customized, continuously updated reports, graphs and 3D maps of your network.
