About Marimba Six
Marimba Six is an automated solution for managing IT assets in virtually any distributed environment across various platforms. It gives customers enhanced capabilities for easier management of software and security patch distribution, operating system migrations, license compliance, and asset tracking. Marimba Six features support for the packaging, provisioning, and configuration activities associated with software management, and it is easy to deploy and use. Major features include:
- Patch Management - Enhanced automation of the identification and deployment of hotfixes and anti-virus patches across multi-platform environments. Marimba's solution can significantly reduce the downtime associated with application and network failures by enabling organizations to quickly deploy hotfixes and anti-virus patches to thousands of desktops, laptops, servers, and devices in an automated fashion.
- Software Usage - New software usage solution that enables tracking and reporting of software installation and usage on corporate systems to help minimize potential risks of software piracy from individual contributors and avoid overpaying for renewals of under-utilized licenses.
- Centralized, Web-based Dashboard - The policy-based architecture of Marimba Six supports a new dashboard that gives system administrators an enterprise-wide view of their entire IT environment. Using the dashboard, they can analyze diagnostic information and immediately take automated corrective actions. This centralized, Web-based console provides unified administration capabilities for installing, maintaining and provisioning Marimba software from virtually anywhere - in the office, home office, or on the road. It also features a new workflow orchestration engine that simplifies deployment processes across multiple tiers of servers.
- Report Center - Marimba's next-generation, browser-based reporting tool includes more than 200 ready-to-use and customizable reports that provide real-time decision-making data along with system information. Administrators can email reports on a schedule, graph complex asset information, and organize reports to fit their organization structure.
- Rapid Deployment and Greater Ease of Use - Marimba Six is easy to deploy, with a typical enterprise-wide implementation completed in just a few weeks or months depending on the enterprise, rather than many months commonly found with competitive solutions. A built-in remote deployment capability enables customers to remotely identify, target and deploy Marimba software to remote computer systems, giving enterprises greater control over their IT assets and environments.
