Giant Japanese firm Toshiba said it has made available its Cloud Client Manager.
Toshiba said the cloud service is aimed at companies of every size and shape to manage so called endpoint devices – that is to say mobile phones and tablets, notebooks and the like.
The software currently gives patch management, asset inventory, power management and distribution of software device drivers. But in early 2015 the company will add mobile device management and cloud back up.
Here’s how it works.
Adminstrators use a standard web browser to control IT devices online without the need to invest in servers or dedicated management software.
The asset management feature shows all the managed machines in an enterprise and lets them see which software is installed on which machine.
Toshiba said the additional functionality in early 2015 will let administrators create user profile permissions and implement password strength, encryption, device lock and data wiping.
