SysTrack Power Manager immediately reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for desktops. Energy savings are typically $5-10 per month per desktop. Being green has never been more profitable! SysTrack learns the individual behavior of each user and automatically turns the PC off when not in use, and turns it back on before it will be needed next. The self-configuring schedule minimizes administrative demands. Users do not notice the off time, but you will see the difference on your electricity bill! SysTrack includes extensive reporting and monitoring facilities to show where you use electricity and where you save it. In addition to physical desktops, SysTrack manages VM power for VMware and Hyper-V desktops. Automatic boot storm control aids VDI environments.

Implementation of Virtual Desktop Infrastructure in internal or external desktop clouds is a complex undertaking. SysTrack VMP automates all aspects of the planning process to smooth this transition. Since early 2008, SysTrack VMP has been first in helping users to virtualize desktops. SysTrack silently analyzes the behavior of users, applications and systems to predict which systems are the best candidates for VDI. Start with a plan, finish with success! SysTrack constructs models based on your environment that quantify and predict load. Based on a mathematical probability model, SysTrack predicts loading based on real-world user behavior, hypervisor type, assigned/pooled configuration, hardware configuration and other environmental concerns. Buy the right amount of hardware, not too much or too little. SysTrack analyzes actual application usage and characteristics to plan and design pools for VMware View, Citrix XenDesktop and others. It identifies apps that pose packaging problems for application virtualization and quantifies application license needs. SysTrack is a “must have” for end users looking to virtualize desktops. Output reports include:
  • Executive Summary
  • Technical Analysis
  • Power and Cooling Analysis
  • Network and Firewall Considerations
  • Migration Plan
  • Image Plan
  • Disk Provisioning
SysTrack desktop optimization features reduce ownership costs through optimization and tuning. SysTrack compliments patch management and software distribution systems like SCCM/SMS. SysTrack audits actual application use and helps minimize unused software. Users save on applications and maintenance plans. SysTrack footprints applications and helps to size CPU, memory, disk and network resources for optimum results at minimum cost. SysTrack includes user auditing down to the application and web level, whitelisting/blacklisting, privileged user control, security assessment and event management. Features like the Blackbox Data Recorder, graphical and statistical analysis, real-time alarming, change management and fault management make diagnostics easy. Save on help desk costs and delivery better service! SysTrack includes over 1000 reports on all aspects of user, application and system behavior. Automated status web sites delivery information with low maintenance costs. Integrated support for all modes of desktop delivery allows a unified view of your entire Windows infrastructure. Fewer point management solutions means lower costs.
