visionapp Extends Microsoft SMS Application

Wednesday, 19 April 2006 by Michel Roth

With their latest product release, visionapp extended the range of solutions for software distribution. Used in combination with visionapp's Platform Management Suite 2006 Enterprise (vPMS 2006e), Microsoft's Systems Management Server (SMS), an effective software distribution solution in client environments, becomes an interesting tool for managing Citrix or, more generally, Windows-based server environments. And adding such useful features was certainly one of the reasons for visionapp's highly successful appearance at Citrix Summit 2006 in Orlando, Florida, earlier this year.

Featuring the Installation Control Manager (ICM), an integrated proprietary software distribution mechanism, as well as support for Microsoft SMS, vPMS 2006e offers higher flexibility for an even broader range of application scenarios, with the visionapp Control Center (vCC)

Besides ease of use, the benefits of this product combination include the shared use of Microsoft SMS for both clients and servers, the administration of installation packages as well as controlling the installation sequence. With the interface extension, visionapp has responded to a demand expressed by many of the company's international customers who run Microsoft SMS as strategic client deployment solution and also want to use that platform to install Citrix systems. In addition, a programming interface (API) enables customers and partners to expand the solution by including their own modules.
