When is it time to say goodbye? For a hardware device, that question can be tough to answer. Though the device has been in the environment for several years, there is still usable life left. So why would we retire and dispose the device and spend additional money on a replacement? With the device’s lifecycle information, that answer becomes much clearer.
Are you on a conservative budget or looking to cut costs in IT? Luckily, you don’t have to look far for opportunities to save in IT. In each of the various stages of an asset life cycle, there are plenty of possible ways to save.
Following the formation of the Independent Business Unit earlier this year, we’ve been refocusing our attention on Ivanti Workspace Control. With the previous release being mainly focussed on maintenance, security, and performance improvements, this Workspace Control 2020 release will be our first major release since then. Workspace Control 2020 introduces several significant new features while also incorporating many of your User Voice requests (please continue to share with us).
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a dramatic shift in the way all industries work, including warehouses within the supply chain. With each minute wasted—equating to a loss of revenue that many companies simply can’t afford in the current climate—productivity must be optimized. On top of this, businesses are mitigating the possibilities of staff becoming unwell and having to find last minute replacements, all while facing increased demand as online shopping continues to peak.
The demands on enterprise IT are set to grow exponentially. Edges. Many times, they represent an unknown—like the edge of space or a horizon for sea captains and pilots. And they give us mixed feelings—fear, anxiousness, direction, a sense of adventure. Most often, they represent a future state or location we are moving towards. For IT there is a new edge. The Edge of computing. The place where things and people are connecting with our networked digital world.
Thanks to your feedback in the User Voice portal, and our roadmap for the future of Ivanti Device and Application Control as discussed in the webinar earlier this year, we are pleased to announce the latest 5.2 release of Ivanti Device and Application Control. Hopefully by now you realize Ivanti is serious about making significant updates to the dedicated set of Ivanti products that form the Independent Business Unit.

In the life of a hardware asset, there is only one point when we know for sure we have what we purchased: When we first receive the asset. This hardware asset scenario reminds me being a little kid and playing catch with my neighbor. I would take a new baseball out of the package and throw it over the fence to him. He would catch it and then throw it back. Sometimes he would try to trick me and throw a different ball back over the fence: an old baseball, a softball, and one time a soccer ball.
We have unveiled several exciting announcements recently, from the launch of Ivanti Neurons to all of our strategic partnerships and integrations (see the details on Intel and Qualys). In fact, we have had so much content to announce that we've needed to create a whole new blog category! But this train is not slowing down any time soon.
Who doesn’t like a good ole’ game of “Guess how many M&Ms or marbles are in that jar”? Are you off by 20, 50, or by a couple hundred? Or maybe you’re fairly close estimating the number of spheres in a confined space. Now think about your IT assets in your organization. Are all of them accounted for? Where are they located? Take a guess. Guess again. A miss is as good as a mile.
Identity & Access Management (IAM) is the central administration of identities and access rights in a company. Authentication and authorization are essential components with which identities are managed and access rights for linked solutions, systems, applications and resources are controlled. It may sound complicated, but this can be easily explained using a practical example.
