ManageEngine Releases MSP Center Plus; Allows Managed Service Providers to Easily, Affordably, Standardize Remote

AUSTIN, TX, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
AdventNet Inc., makers of ManageEngine, a globally renowned suite of cost
effective network management & security software solutions, today
announced the release of MSP Center Plus, an integrated management suite
allowing Managed Service Providers to more easily and affordably create
and maintain secure, standardized, desktop computing environments. MSP
Center Plus brings sophisticated automation and integration to desktop
management without the typically high price point; at $25 per device per
year, the software is nearly 80 percent less expensive than competing
solutions.

ManageEngine built the MSP Center Plus platform based on experience gained
through working with more than 350 MSPs who were using earlier versions of
the company's software to manage 200,000 end devices inside 2,500 small
businesses. MSP Center Plus offers MSPs and Value Added Resellers (VARs) a
full complement of management disciplines, including asset management,
power management, patch management, windows configuration templates,
network monitoring, SLA management, exchange monitoring, helpdesk,
timesheets, tech scheduling and invoicing. All functionality is available
through a single graphical user interface and applications share a common
database for true management integration.

"MSP Center Plus is a perfect fit for Multiple Service Providers needing
to manage multiple clients from one central location," said Abe Contreras,
Implementation & Project Manager, Itentive Healthcare Solutions, a
five-year-old MSP with more than 1200 users in 50 locations. "In a few
clicks of the mouse you can configure and manage multiple client
infrastructures. The dashboard interface is easy to read and it provides
critical information in one page, including any alarms and alerts.
Resource monitors come with industry-standard monitoring thresholds
pre-set out of the box; and they can easily be customized to individual
environments if needed. Reports are very detailed and can be customized
based on each customer and can be scheduled to be automatically
generated. Suffice to say, we did our due diligence and tested all the
competitors. MSP Center Plus was the clear winner."

MSP Center Plus eliminates the extensive scripting that competing
solutions require to perform many routine management tasks. By simply
selecting from MSP Center Plus' more than 50 templates and 250 pre-loaded
policies, MSPs can easily apply and maintain desktop policies across an
entire computer group. Everything from power management to firewall and
registry settings and more can be standardized across thousands of
endpoints with a simple mouse click. Templates even make security
management easier. Security settings, such as disabling USB and CR-ROM
drive access and disabling the control panel can be achieved using
security policy templates in MSP Center Plus.

Further easing the management task, many routine jobs including patch
scanning and deployment, asset scanning, prohibited software detection,
disc cleanup, defragmentation and more can be automated and scheduled.

"In today's challenging economic environment a greater number of small
businesses than ever are turning to MSPs as they seek to focus on their
core competencies and leave IT to the pros," said Dev Anand, Product
Manager for MSP Center Plus. "There's this huge opportunity for VARs and
service providers to create long-term relationships with these small
businesses and realize profitable recurring revenue. MSP Center Plus
provides every capability an MSP could need to remotely ensure the
performance and availability of desktops, becoming an irreplaceable part
of the customer's operations."
