Symantec Announces Client Management Solution

Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ: SYMC), the global leader in information security, today announced the Symantec LiveState Client Management Suite, a comprehensive configuration and lifecycle management solution for client devices in highly distributed, heterogeneous enterprise environments. The suite provides organizations with a set of solutions designed to achieve client resilience by enabling IT administrators to gain control of the IT environment and help ensure client devices are secure, available and compliant with established corporate standards. In addition, the suite reduces the complexity and cost of managing the lifecycle of client devices, and automates manual tasks, such as deploying and configuring client firewall and anti-spyware software, rolling out new devices, managing software patches, and retiring client devices.

The Symantec LiveState Client Management Suite is the latest release in Symantec’s LiveState family of information availability solutions. It is a critical component of Symantec’s Information Integrity initiative, which helps organizations build a resilient infrastructure by taking a holistic approach to security, systems and storage management. Symantec’s LiveState family of solutions is based on the LiveState architecture, a single unified and extensible platform for Symantec’s client and server management and recovery solutions. The LiveState platform is designed to reduce complexity and make it easier for organizations to deploy additional modular LiveState solutions in the future by leveraging a common console look-and-feel, management database and automated agent deployment infrastructure.

“Security concerns, changing compliance requirements and increasing pressure to establish a strong ROI case for IT purchases are on top of every IT manager’s mind,” said Fred Broussard, Research Manager for PC and Device Management Software, IDC. “Products like Symantec’s LiveState Client Management Suite can add value by converging security and systems management requirements to enable automated and secure solutions for management and system recovery.”
