IBM has unveiled a new software platform, which provides built-in intelligence that identifies all of a company’s PCs, laptops, servers, point-of-sale and virtualised devices that are not in compliance with corporate IT standards.

IBM said that the new BigFix Unified Management Software Platform features a single dashboard that makes the proper fixes across 500,000 machines in minutes.

It allows organisations see, change, enforce and report on security policies and system configurations of all endpoint devices in real time – including those not continuously connected to the corporate network.

The company said that its new software platform also includes more than 200 customer- and partner-specific enhancements.

It displays all virtual and physical assets in a single view to help locate, manage and protect virtualised and physical systems.

In addition, the redesigned user interface of BigFix Unified Management Software Platform now includes role-specific views so IT staff can view the status of IT assets according to key functional area.
