SyAM Software Desktop Monitor Central is the product of choice for SMBs who want an affordable, easy to use, easy to learn systems management tool for managing desktops and notebooks.

Affordable:

At SyAM Software, we recognize that SMBs simply cannot afford systems management tools that have a hefty initial price tag and require expensive training and support. That’s why we’ve created a solution that works within the budget of SMBs. Desktop Monitor Central costs only $39 per desktop license. This product will pay for itself in just weeks through reduced energy costs, reduced maintenance costs, and increased administrator productivity.

Power Management:

Desktop Monitor Central has built-in Power Management capabilities that can help reduce a company’s power consumption by as much as 40% or more. Desktop Monitor Central allows administrators to create power policies for desktops and notebooks and enforce them without any intervention by end-users. Each system connected to a network can be configured by IP address for a scheduled graceful shutdown. We define a graceful shutdown as comprised of three phases: applications, OS, hardware. Administrators configure once and shutdowns are then automatic. In the morning, users can reboot their machines or they can be configured for “Wake-On-LAN”.

Monitoring & Alerting:

Proactive monitoring, alerting, and resolution can add years of life to a system and increase the productivity of end-users tremendously. Desktop Monitor Central is always working in the background to ensure your desktops and notebooks are operating within prescribed parameters. If things go wrong, our product will often alert you before catastrophic failures completely cripple the system.

Remote Resolution:

One of the biggest drains on the productivity of administrators is making multiple trips to fix a problem: one trip to diagnose, one trip to install new hardware or software, and one follow-up trip to ensure everything is working. SyAM Software’s Desktop Monitor Central greatly impacts the productivity of administrators by reducing or eliminating the need for desk-side visits. Our products empower administrators to drill down to the root cause of problems, whether they are hardware or software based. For hardware-based issues, administrators can identify the cause of the problem and bring the correct components on the first visit, reducing desk-side service to one trip. Follow up monitoring can then occur remotely. Software issues can often be resolved remotely – all without administrators leaving their desks.

Asset Management:

Asset management is an issue for nearly every organization. Technology systems need to be monitored for their physical whereabouts, their hardware configuration, and their software versions and approved applications. However, tracking down all of this information, especially for mobile assets, can be a real nightmare and drain on administrator’s productivity. Fortunately, Desktop Monitor Central virtually eliminates the need for manual asset tracking by gathering asset information dynamically and reporting it to the central management console.

Vendor Neutrality:

Desktop Monitor Central has been tested to support virtually any popular brand of hardware. For a complete list of supported systems, please see Desktop Compatibility.

Intel AMT™ Support:

Desktop Monitor Central has built in features that allow AMT information to report directly to the central management console. This feature enables desktops and notebooks to be monitored and managed for both SyAM Software features and AMT features in one centrally managed console.

Common Interface:

Desktop Monitor Central provides a user interface that is common to all brands of hardware it manages. This eliminates dependence on proprietary interfaces that OEMs sometimes ship with their products. One interface to learn to manage multiple systems saves a great deal of time. Best of all, the interface is web-based. This allows administrators to log-in from any machine with a web-browser, freeing them to work from home or on the road.

Deployment Simplicity:

One of the best features of Desktop Monitor Central is its speed of deployment, easy integration into the infrastructure, and ease of use once installed. This product can be made operational within minutes. Simply download the software, follow the simple installation instructions, and you’re done. Best of all, with a simple to use and understand interface, there is virtually no additional training required for administrators.
