Muncie, Indiana, United States, January 23, 2008- Paragent, LLC, a high quality software company specializing in open source IT desktop management software has announced the availability of its hosted model open source IT management software.
Paragent, LLC offers one of the most highly regarded open source web-based desktop management service available today. This software as a service product (SaaS) is perfect for almost any size organization in managing hardware and software inventory, software license auditing, alerting and remote control processes.
Paragent’s hosted model open source IT management software is quite easy to implement due to the use of a small agent running on each monitored computer. This agent keeps track of and reports on a variety of functions, data and commands.
It should be noted that Paragent’s agent-based solution provides its customers with a truly flexible, scalable and secure experience. In fact, by being a hosted model, Paragent can offer and provide a truly robust and flexible suite of IT management tools. Some of these tools include remote desktop support, license key extraction, etc. In addition, with a hosted model, you can keep network traffic to a minimum- ultimately providing better scalability.
Regarding security, a hosted model is usually regarded as more secure than agent-less models. With agent-less models, a network must be opened for incoming requests; however using Paragent’s agent-based solution there is no need to keep your network open for incoming requests- effectively minimizing exposure.
For those concerned about system resources, Paragent’s agent memory and processing footprint is kept to a minimum- requiring a total of about 6 MB’s of memory and approximately 2-3% of CPU usage when activities are taking place.
