Medina, Ohio – IBM recently announced Wolcott Group, a leading information technology consulting, services and software firm located in Medina, Ohio, as a preferred reseller of the IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager Product line.
Wolcott Group continues to broaden its security offerings beyond threats such as spam and viruses to full endpoint management. IBM’s Tivoli Endpoint Manager (powered by BigFix) uses a lightweight agent (< 2% of the CPU and 1 MB of RAM) which continually works to protect the endpoint even when it is not connected to the corporate network, making this product an ideal solution for companies of all sizes. As a reseller of IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager, Wolcott offers a cost effective solution which provides a holistic approach to managing desktops, laptops, mobile devices (Apple, Android), servers and point of sale devices across a variety of operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux, Apple) via a single console.
Security threats for computing endpoints of all operating systems are under attack as highlighted in the comprehensive "IBM X-Force 2011 Trend and Risk Report" (click to download a copy). Keeping abreast of the evolving changes and updates is both time consuming and costly. Tivoli Endpoint Manager facilitates management from one console, be it Mac, Windows, Unix or Linux, thus providing management one place to look and one view of the environment. A real-time, always-on agent with near real-time reporting capabilities will allow top level managers to gain awareness of the status of patching cycles and other threats.
