Ask a network manager what brings on the biggest headaches, and you will hear viruses and unwanted downloads. Now, with today'ss launch of Netop's8482; ProtectOn Pro's8482; (http://www.netop.com/products/administration/netop-protecton-pro.htm) , schools, libraries and businesses have an affordable and comprehensive solution for keeping networked computers running reliably and free from damage. This new endpoint protection software is the first to combine hard disk protection with remote management and powerful Internet, application and device controls.
Netop (http://www.netop.com) , the world'ss largest provider of classroom management software, built this new solution on the foundation of the popular
ProtectOn2, which allowed teachers to automatically roll back virus damage and unwanted changes that students may have made to classroom computers. Netop ProtectOn Pro takes managing
endpoint protection to the next level by combing hard disk protection with device control.
Managing a network is no easy task, and in an environment such as a school or library where users change on a daily, or even hourly, basis, it is an even greater challenge, aid Kurt
Bager, CEO, Netop. With Netop ProtectOn Pro, network managers can now remotely control the computers in their network - large or small - and keep them free of the devastating damage that
can be caused by viruses or unauthorized devices, ensuring that users have access to reliable computers when they need them to learn, study or work.
Now with Netop ProtectOn Pro, network managers can protect data and system integrity by controlling user access to USB and WiFi devices, hard disks, floppy drives, Web sites and software
applications. They can automatically restore computers and erase damage from viruses and unwanted downloads. They can also use Netop ProtectOn Pro to hide hard disk contents from certain
users and provide others limited access to selected folders, ensuring that confidential school or company information is only accessed by authorized users.
Netop ProtectOn Pro also allows remote management of computers (http://www.netop.com/products/administration/netop-protecton-pro.htm). Network managers can wake up, shut down
or restart computers remotely. Using the solution, they can check computer disk space, view event logs, access the Windows task manager or manage computer services and shared drives.
Netop ProtectOn Pro provides a central administrative console with a single comprehensive interface for managing networked computers, making it easy to set up and use.
Netop ProtectOn Pro is a server- based solution comprising three modules: a server module, one or more administrative console modules and an unlimited number of agent modules. The Netop
ProtectOn Pro server module requires Microsoft SQL Server editions and comes packaged with SQL Server Compact edition. The server and console modules also require Microsoft .Net Framework
2.0, commonly available on newer Windows operating systems. Netop ProtectOn Pro provides this comprehensive solution for endpoint protection at prices that are at or below what other
products cost for standalone hard disk protection or device control software. U.S. education pricing starts at $19 per computer for schools with 25 or more computers. Volume discounts are
available. For more information or to download a free trial, visit www.netop.com.
