Key features of our distributed agentless solution include:
- Simplified, VPN-less deployment
- Install a single software service per site to enable full management
- Integrated management & monitoring
- Integrated security management, including vulnerability, patch management and event management
- Support for all types of devices and applications
- Fully integrated, requiring no additional software
Since the late 1990s the IT industry has been rapidly moving away from agents
due to their installation and maintenance costs. This trend has accelerated
with the growth of the managed service industry, where these costs
can directly inhibit sales and reduce margins. But at the same time,
agents have always had one clear advantage over agentless solutions:
bandwidth utilization.
Dell has been the pioneer of a new approach to management: distributed
agentless. Distributed agentless is the management and monitoring
of infrastructures using existing channels already supported by a
device, using a local point of presence (what we call a SilverStreak).
This allows you to leverage all the benefits of agentless - ease of
deployment and maintenance - without any of the bandwidth costs.
By installing a single SilverStreak, you can take advantage
of our complete management functionality, including remote
access, scripting,
patch distribution,
file transfer,
software distribution, proactive monitoring, and more.
Competitive solutions are either entirely agent based, or
require different types of agents for different purposes (e.g.
one for SNMP monitoring, one for Windows monitoring, one on
each device that requires remote access).
