MetaLAN™ Systems Managementtime to take control
MetaLAN is designed with one main purpose, to make managing a network of many desktops and servers as easy as possible. Systems Management Software is renowned for large complex installations with many dependencies. MetaLAN aims to be transparent, so that managers and technical staff can spend their time managing clients and infrastructure not the software itself. ArchitectureMetaLAN can run in two modes, stand-alone or server. Stand-alone only requires MetaLAN Administrator to be installed. MetaLAN AdministratorMetaLAN Administrator is the primary application in the MetaLAN suite. This application alone provides: network scanning, basic software inventory, hardware inventory, reporting, remote control, performance monitoring, remote software installation, remote searching and editing of the Windows registry and many other features. For small networks (less than 500 nodes) this may be the only software you need, although MetaLAN Administrator will work on any sized network. MetaLAN ServerMetaLAN Server periodically scans the network and stores the collected information in a database for quick retrieval. The information can be displayed, searched and reported on using MetaLAN Administrator and License Manager. Installing MetaLAN Server greatly enhances the availability of network data and provides accurate statistics over time. MetaLAN Server does not require an additional license and is very easy to install.Note: Previous versions of MetaLAN Server were named MetaLAN ProbeServer. The ProbeServer name has been discontinued and MetaLAN Server is it's replacement. License ManagerLicense Manager is a software inventory management tool for monitoring software license compliance on a Windows network. License Manager requires MetaLAN Server to be installed on the network in order to operate. License Manager does not require an additional license.Note: License Manager requires MetaLAN Server to function. DownloadsAll downloads come with a 30 day trial license included. If you have a purchased license these downloads will upgrade your current installation.How to BuyThe MetaLAN Systems Management Suite is licensed for the number of computers (nodes) on your network, similar to a client access license (CAL). For example, if you have a domain of 1000 computers including servers you would need to purchase 1000 node licenses.If you use MetaLAN to scan and/or manage a computer you must purchase a node license for it. If you only wanted to use MetaLAN to scan and manage a subset of the computers on your network you may be able to purchase a lesser quantity. Please contact sales to ask any questions you might have regarding licensing. Use of all components (Administrator, Server, License Manager) is included in the license. There is no limit on the number of computers the software can be installed on as long as it is used on the licensed network. There is no limit on the number of users that can use the software. Licenses come in packs of 50 and the price decreases with the number purchased. Purchase includes 12 months software maintenance, upgrades and email support. Annual maintenance may be renewed at any time. |
