SUREDATA is a Real-Time & Database-Driven Query Engine that guarantees the most complete and accurate view of your environment.

System management solutions that are database-driven ensure data availability but may not be current. Real-time solutions are responsive and current but they can’t handle offline devices.

With GOVERLAN’s SURE-DATA Technology you don’t have to trade off accuracy for availability - the data is directly queried from the system in real-time, then registered into a database back-end. If a system is offline, GOVERLAN automatically pulls the information from the database.

SURE-DATA gives you the best of both worlds - accuracy and availability of information on every machine, online or offline.

GOVERLAN SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT MODULES

GOVERLAN consists of four standalone modules, which can be used individually or altogether. All modules seamlessly integrate to provide a unique and complementary Systems Management process flow.

Choose one or all GOVERLAN modules to perform background management tasks without user interruption, share the desktop with a remote user, execute global configuration duties or implement advanced server queries and controls.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

step one

Define a scope

of users, computers or groups

Define your scope

GOVERLAN provides extended means to define your scopes. You can choose individual objects, AD domains or containers, or IP ranges.

step two

Specify the actions

to apply to the scope

All information and admin tasks from the Administration & Diagnostic module can be configured as an action.

Specifiy the actions to apply

Scope Actions has an extended library of admin tasks that allow you to report or manage every aspect of your targeted objects:

• Full set of Active Directory Attributes

• Local Account Database

• Registry & File System

• Access the full WMI Repository without scripting

• Intel® vPRO™ AMT Functions

BENEFITS OF PUSH TECHNOLOGY

GOVERLAN Scope Action uses a PUSH technology to perform global configuration tasks. This means that actions are executed in real-time and results returned immediately. This approach complements Microsoft SCCM/ConfigMgr. SCCM/ConfigMgr tasks are executed only when a machine checks with the SCCM server for available tasks, making execution completion times hard to define.

GOVERLAN Scope Action provides great benefits as it allows global configuration tasks to be performed immediately and predictably. For instance, during an emergency situation when a global change, or an admin task must be executed on your machines in real- time.

Since GOVERLAN works with live data, it is also a great choice for detecting real-time systems configuration and states. For example, you can use a GOVERLAN Scope Action to scan and report the list of machines for which a particular process is running, or a service is stopped or a specified file is missing. You can also take subsequent actions if a state is detected. GOVERLAN’s scanning abilities of live data makes it a prime tool for security compliance assessments.

WHAT IS WMIX ?

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a powerful technology, however, in its raw form it can only be accessed via a scripting language like VBScript or PowerShell. This fact often leaves this technology hard to reach for common administration tasks.

The WMIX Module allows you to fully consume the WMI technology within GOVERLAN without any scripting or programming and with minimal knowledge of the WMI repository. WMIX removes all complexity out of WMI and make this agent-free systems management technology accessible to everyone.

With the WMIX module, the complete WMI repository of information and systems management functions is exposed in a friendly graphical manner within the Scope Action module (allowing you to perform WMI based queries and tasks on a wide scope of machines), and via the WMIX application.
Using WMI via WMIX, you gain access to the most comprehensive implementation of data-management and operations of Windows-based operating systems.

REMOTE ADMINISTER YOUR MACHINES VIA WMI

Since every Windows platform has the WMI technology built-in, you can use WMIX without installing any software agents on your client machines.

remote task execution
Remotely execute management tasks on one or more remote computer systems.
remote query and configure
Remotely query and manage the information and configuration settings of virtually every component a computer system has.
generate custom reports
Generate pre-configured or ad-hoc reports on a remote machine or a set of remote machines.

AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF WMI SCRIPTS

WMIX has a built-in script generator which allows you to automatically generate a Visual Basic script to report, modify or execute any action you initiate using the graphical user interface (GUI). The scripts generated by WMIX are configured so that they can be run against a local machine, a remote machine or group of machines. Additionally, all WMI parameters and values are converted to a user friendly format.

The WMIX Script Generator is a great tool for any system administrator who uses or wishes to use WMI for their daily tasks.

CREATE SOPHISTICATED WMI QUERIES USING WQL WIZARD

Sophisticated WMI Queries Wizard

WMI has its own query language called WQL.It allows you to specify query filters in order to return only the information you want from machines which comply with the query criteria.

WMIX includes a WMI Query Wizard, removing all complexity from creating WMI queries. WMIX will guide you through the process of selecting a WMI class, defining the properties to report and designing the query filters.

Use the WMIX Query Wizard to create Group Policy WMI Filters & to perform SCCM customization with ease.

WHY IT ADMINS
PREFER GOVERLAN

I can go to a user by the user name, see which machines they’re logged into, and go directly into remote control and admin tasks.
Frontier School Division
We used many alternate solutions in the past, from Radmin to VNC to Net Support, but have always preferred Goverlan because of its ease-of-use and deployment, cost-effective licensing, and the built-in management capabilities.
