Miradore Adds Support to OS X and Linux Devices, Enhances Asset Management and Green IT Capabilities
News Release from:

21 October 2011
Miradore announced the extension of its automated cloud-based IT management solution to multiple new device platforms. Further new features include enhanced asset detection and management, and centrally enforceable power saving policies to support green IT initiatives.
The new Miradore release now covers all major distributions of Linux and Apple's OS X for Mac, in addition to Windows based servers and workstations, and retail point-of-sale terminals. Support for mobile devices includes Android and Symbian based smartphones, with more in the pipeline.
“Our strategic aim is to provide the broadest IT device management capabilities available in the market, as automated as possible, and packaged in a single integrated management console,” said Kristian Järnefelt, CEO of Miradore. “We have improved several existing features and added new ones, based on active solicitation of feedback from IT managers and managed service providers.”
Centralized power management saves electricity throughout organizations
Miradore enhances power management with new reports that visualize the power consumption of a single device or a group of devices during a set evaluation period. The reports display the power states of the selected devices in different times of days, watts consumed, and estimates of energy costs generated.
Green IT initiatives benefit from simplified implementation. Miradore allows IT managers and managed service providers to define power-saving policy settings for selected devices, and to calculate potential savings. Once approved for use, the settings can be centrally activated across the entire organization using the Miradore management console.
Fully integrated network discovery tool enhances asset management
Miradore’s network discovery tool enables quick and easy discovery of assets connected to a network. Using the tool, IT managers are able to detect all devices connected to their organization’s network and collect information about their operating systems.
The network discovery tool is now fully integrated in the Miradore management console, bringing IT managers an automatically updated list of all detected devices. With the tool, running an inventory scan or distributing a new software client is a fast and easy task.
Using Miradore´s asset confirmation request workflows, the IT manager or service provider can request the persons responsible of certain devices to check and confirm the asset information.
