Client Services for NetFinity
IBM NetFinity Manager and Client Services for Netfinity, a low-cost,
highly flexible system management program, allow LAN
administrators to easily view, initiate, and exploit management
services for LAN-connected clients and servers.
Using the Client Services for NetFinity, the system administrator
does not need to stop his or her task to watch and control the
system, because it can be done remotely. If the Client Services for
NetFinity runs in the background, the tasks running on your system
do not need to be halted. The network administrator, at the same
time, can monitor the network, so any problems can be avoided
before they become severe. The remote workstation control function
of the Client Services for NetFinity allows help desk personnel to
remotely connect to a user's system and take control of the PC to
diagnose and repair system problems.
The following client services are available. The hardware
configuration of your computer and the selections you make during
installation determine which services will be available:
Alert manager
Critical file monitor
Predictive failure analysis
Security manager
Serial control
Software inventory
System information
System monitor
System profile
The following remote network management functions are available
for client computers with NetFinity Manager installed:
