Hi, i just read from here: http://www.parallels.com/products/enterprise/news/ That enterprise edition can be central manage? Is it? my question is: Central manage the solution o Remote deploy software and setting to the host ( Mountain Lion 10.8.3 ) § Central patch/update software § Inventory software version o Manage image from central location and populate to host o Permission § Limit who is the user ( using group membership in AD ) § User logon base on AD credential § Role base IT admin ( Manager, Administrator, Service Desk, Super user ) o Alert/warning when something break ( Eg, service fail to start ) o Reporting ( Utilization/Meter, Logon/Logoff events ) o Remote control the guest OS and support a client ( for support ) o Schedule remote wake up the host Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and start he application. o QoS – Resource allocation priority Is that all the above, supported by Parallels Desktop Mac Enterprise?? Before i buy, i need a clarification
Hello Mohd, Thanks for your questions. We have a few tools that we provide, but we also rely on existing management tools that are already in place such as RDP, VNC, MSFT SCCM, JAMF, etc. Managing a virtual machine is very similar to managing a physical machine and the existing management tools you use will generally work the same on both types. As it relates to our Desktop for Mac Enterprise edition, Parallels provides: 1. Mass deployment tool--this helps package and deploy the Parallels installer, the activation license, and pre-configured virtual machines to managed Macs 2. Command line interface tool--this provide the ability manage VMs locally or remotely and can be used on demand or can be used as part of a script 3. PMM (Parallels Management for Macs) This is a plug-in for MSFT SCCM 2007/2012 and provides automatic/manual Mac discovery, enrollment, inventory and reporting, policy compliance, software compliance, etc Here are some relevant links: http://www.parallels.com/products/enterprise/ http://www.parallels.com/products/mac-management/sccm/ http://www.parallels.com/products/enterprise/desktop/ I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me. Thanks, David Spackman dspackman@parallels.com
