Dell Kace (Quest)

Description of Products/Services:

NUIT has partnered with several University schools and departments to deploy an enterprise desktop management solution for University computers. Powered by Dell KACE, the service allows distributed IT groups to more efficiently manage computer inventories and report on both hardware and software assets, provision software to users, deploy patches to fix vulnerable software titles, and streamline the imaging of computers. The services also offers a shared machine operating system imaging solution for both Windows and Mac OS X devices.

The Kace solution is split into two distinct services depending on need:

• K1000 - Used for post-deployment machine management: inventory, asset management, software delivery, license tracking, scripting, and reporting.
• K2000 - Used for deployment of standard operating system imaging to Windows or Mac OS machines. Allows for network booting to provide remote device deployment options.
