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 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.

Control your remote systems as if you were physically there. During a GOVERLAN Remote Control session, share the screen, keyboard and mouse without disconnecting the user, or access and log into unattended machines. You can also share the screen and controls of a remote system with one or more other support engineers for a fully collaborative control session.
Quickly and effortlessly access your user’s machine by specifying full or partial AD user name. GOVERLAN fastConnect immediately presents you with the list of machines that the user is currently logged into (including VDI, Citrix®, & RDP sessions).
You can also use fastConnect to resolve partial computer via wildcard AD searches right in the Connect To box.
Remote control any Intel® vPRO™ ready machine regardless of the workstation or OS condition.
Centrally Audit Remote Control Session Activities
Supports Smart Card Authentication
Customize the client side user interface with corporate image and text branding
Generate Reports on the state and configuration of users & machines
Perform global Systems Management tasks and Active Directory changes
Scan your users and machines to detect specific configuration or states
SUREDATA Technology
Ideal for: System Admins | Infrastructure Admins | Compliance
Use GOVERLAN’s Scope Actions when global infrastructure reporting or configuration is required. Scope Actions are used to execute real-time configured actions and reports, on-demand or on a repeating schedule, against a pre-configured scope of computer targets and Active Directory objects.
Define a scope
of users, computers or groups
GOVERLAN provides extended means to define your scopes. You can choose individual objects, AD domains or containers, or IP ranges.
Specify the actions
to apply to the scope
All information and admin tasks from the Administration & Diagnostic module can be configured as an action.
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
Run when needed or schedule to run
Fast, real-time results!
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.
Gain access to extended server admin features via vendor specific WMI providers
Execute queries & Sys Admin tasks agent-free
Quickly and easily generate WMI scripts with the click of a button
Use a Wizard to create GPO WMI Filters / SCCM custom queries
Ideal for: System Admins | Infrastructure Admins
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.
Since every Windows platform has the WMI technology built-in, you can use WMIX without installing any software agents on your client machines.
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.
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.
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.
Get to the root of a problem quickly. Resolve client issues more efficiently, with minimal or no end-user interaction.
Priced per operator, not per node. A single license authorizes an operator to remote control an unlimited number of client machines.
Perpetual licensing, one-time cost for the version owned.
No database back-end or Active Directory schema modification required.
Speedy and effortless deployment. The GOVERLAN agents are very small & stable (less than 5MB) and have been designed to have no impact on system performance. The agents can be auto-installed/maintained by GOVERLAN or pre-installed by you.
Secure & centralized management of global settings and session audits, allowing for responsive IT security/compliance reporting and approval.
Centrally configure and manage client side settings globally using a domain group policy or using the GOVERLAN Central Server (i). Customize the image and text of the client side user interface with your corporate branding.
Easy firewall configuration. GOVERLAN uses a single TCP port for all communication and easy firewall configuration. If Windows firewall is on, the GOVERLAN agents automatically configure it with an exception.
Secure authentication. Every action performed via GOVERLAN is done under the identity of the GOVERLAN operator, and is authenticated and approved through native Active Directory privileges.
Encrypted communication. Every piece of data transmitted over the network is encrypted using the AES 256 protocol.
Central and secure auditing. Auditing of remote control sessions can be centrally and securely managed using the GOVERLAN Central Server (i).
(i)The GOVERLAN Central Server allows you to centrally and securely configure and distribute settings. Settings configured via the GOVERLAN Central Server can only be modified by a super-authority.
