Parallels Desktop 8 Mac Enterprise Edition - Central Manage?

[Mohd FaizalK]

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
