O&O Products for business: Network management with the O&O Enterprise Management Console

Automatic data backups, optimize system resources as well as monitor memory capacity – the new, enhanced network management from O&O allows administrators to do all this from their own desks. Remote management now makes manual installation on individual clients superfluous.

The Berlin-based data specialist founded in 1997, O&O Software, releases O&O Enterprise Management Console 6, the latest version of its network management. The new version has been optimized for the SQL Server 2014 and supports the latest O&O Defrag 21 and DiskImage 12 Server and Workstation Editions.
While using the O&O Enterprise Management Console is very easy, tutorials are also available to guide users through the first steps. A migration assistant can help with the transfer of older databases.
Installation of the O&O Enterprise Management Console is possible under Windows 10, 8, and 7 in their respective 64-bit versions.

Integrated O&O programs

Backup and restore data – O&O DiskImage 12

O&O DiskImage 12 makes it easy to quickly create images of drives (imaging) or file backups. It can be deployed across a network with the O&O Enterprise Management Console. Administrators can carry out remote installations and automatically image network computers centrally from the comfort of their own desks.

Maximum computer performance – O&O Defrag 21

Defragmentation on a regular basis can help companies avoid losses in computer performance and thereby reduce expenses considerably. O&O Defrag optimizes hard disks and packs file fragments securely back together again. Newly created and modified files are analyzed and defragmented when they are not being accessed. When used in conjunction with the O&O Enterprise Management Console, O&O Defrag can be managed from a central location across an entire network. The Console not only allows administrators to run defragmentation jobs on individual computers and sites, it also lets them install O&O Defrag remotely, saving them the time and money involved in doing all of this separately on each and every computer.

Easily identify space wastage – O&O DiskStat 2

The network-compatible edition of O&O DiskStat 2, working together with O&O Enterprise Management Console, analyzes the usage of hard disk space on servers and workstations across a whole network. With just a few clicks, administrators can detect the hard disks that are heavily occupied, and the data being saved on them, displayed clearly in tables or diagrams. Jobs, scans and automatically created reports can be distributed and used across an entire network.

Advanced warning of potential disk failure – O&O DriveLED 4

O&O DriveLED timely warns of impending disk failure and protects against data loss, either on a client or a server. Integrated into the O&O Enterprise Management Console, regular reports are prepared on the status of all disks. If O&O DriveLED finds problems with a computer, it will be highlighted in the report in color, so that the administrator looks at his work, sees which computer is affected and can react in time. The remote installation function simplifies the distribution of O&O DriveLED 4 on the machines in the corporate network.

Identifies and logs hardware and software error sources – O&O EventViewer

The O&O Event Viewer retrieves events from the Windows Event Viewer and logs software and hardware error sources in one report. In the job assistant, search criteria can be defined so that the retrieval of Windows events from the target computer is carried out according to established rules. Events that were recorded by applications or programs may, for example, be file errors, valid and invalid logon attempts and events for use of resources such as creating, opening, or deleting files. At system startup, the failed loading of a device driver or other system component is also recorded. The O&O Event Viewer can also be distributed quickly in the network using the remote installation.

Functions of the O&O Enterprise Management Console at a glance

Easy to use: The user interface is intuitive, with comprehensive dialogs to explain all necessary steps. A tutorial also leads users through the first steps, such as license management, creating computer groups or the distribution of tasks in the network. A migration assistant is available to help with the transfer of databases from earlier versions.

Dynamic Module updates: An overview shows the user if new modules or updates are available. After downloading a new module it is automatically integrated into the O&O Enterprise Management Console.
SQL Integration: The Console is based on the Microsoft SQL Server and can be integrated into an existing Microsoft SQL Database structure or into the Microsoft SQL Server Express which is included in delivery. Network management for smaller networks is therefore also fully supported.

Management and remote installation: Along with the allocation of jobs on individual computers and sites, network management also enables remote installation of O&O programs. This involves installing a service on the client which takes over communication with the O&O ControlService. O&O programs carry out jobs and submit status reports to the O&O ControlService.

SSL Encryption: The integrated SSL Encryption ensures that data cannot be read or manipulated during its transfer from the computer to the service. The O&O Enterprise Management Console is thereby able to provide administrators with the highest level of security and protect them from so-called “Man-in-the Middle” attacks, by which unauthorized parties gain access to communications across a network.

The O&O Enterprise Management Console is available for 499 USD. A license for the O&O Enterprise Management Console will be provided free of charge with the purchase of 50 Workstation and 10 Server licenses for the O&O Defrag, O&O DiskImage, O&O DiskStat or O&O DriveLED products.
