Posted on: Tuesday, 8 July 2003, 06:00 CDT

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2003--

LANDesk Client Manager gathers system information and presents it in real time, so IT management can make accurate, timely decisions for retail devices regardless of location

LANDesk Software, the leader in integrated desktop, server and device management solutions, continues to gain momentum in the retail systems market through its partnership with Wincor Nixdorf. LANDesk(R) Client Manager currently ships on all Windows*-based retail systems sold by Wincor Nixdorf around the world. LANDesk Client Manager is a software solution that enables a high level of device manageability including troubleshooting and problem resolution tools, hardware and software inventory reporting, distributed monitoring capabilities, and an event log to track configuration changes and system activity.

Wincor Nixdorf offers a variety of retail solutions including point-of-sale systems, kiosk terminals, lottery systems and more. LANDesk Client Manager is integrated into these solutions at the point of manufacture to offer systems that are management-ready upon installation.

"We are shipping LANDesk Client Manager as our BEETLEVIEW management solution with all of our Windows-based systems and have had extremely positive response from our customers," said Robert Baitinger, product marketing manager for Wincor Nixdorf. "LANDesk Client Manager gives our customers the ability to manage their systems remotely via the Web, which in turn increases their level of customer serviceability, improves overall system availability and positively affects their bottom line."

LANDesk Client Manager enables IT management to easily monitor the state of key system components by providing some of the most detailed management information available--including data from the CPU, temperatures, cooling fans, network card, bus voltages, hard disks, software applications and more. It presents this data in real-time so IT management always has the most current data to enable timely and accurate decisions. IT administrators can predefine acceptable thresholds for client or server health status and receive alerts immediately if the threshold is crossed.

LANDesk Client Manager also includes reporting, remote system management via the Web, as well as remote wake-up, reboot and shutdown. LANDesk Client Manager offers a high level of enterprise integration via console support for LANDesk(R) Management Suite, Tivoli*, HP OpenView*, and CA's Unicenter* via application integration modules.

"Our relationship with Wincor Nixdorf has enabled us to offer the benefits of our technology and solutions to a targeted retail market through a partner that truly knows these customers and their needs," said Dave R. Taylor, vice president of worldwide sales for LANDesk Software. "Combining our management solutions with their retail systems has resulted in greatly increased value to the end customer, increasing overall system availability and simplifying the administration of store solutions."
