[John P. Rouillard]

Hello all:

[ Note we seem to have a room change from what is posted on the web
  site. I will verify, but it looks like we are in room 395 in building
  E-51 and NOT in room 145 due to AV upgrades occuring in room 145. ]

On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 7PM we are pleased to present Harold
Moore on:

   Keeping up with Systems Management across Windows, Linux and Mac platforms.

How do you keep all of your systems (Windows, Mac, Linux)? Do you find
yourself having to use multiple toolsets? Enterprises keep adding new
types of system s (a resurgence in the Mac community and new Linux
applications being developed every day) that only increase the demands
on the systems administration team. On top of that, there are growing
regulatory and compliance (software licensing) demands placed on the
team. How can you streamline the systems management processes
(software distribution, asset management, patching, O/S deployment,
compliance reporting, etc.)? The Dell Kace systems management
appliance was designed to make it easy for you to manage all of your
systems from one console. We'll discuss common challenges that systems
administrators face today and how best to address them.
