White Paper Highlighting Best Practices in Desktop and Server Management Now Available

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - November 4, 2008 - KACE, the leading systems management appliance company, today announced the availability of an updated whitepaper resulting from new research that reveals its KBOX Systems Management Appliances offer significantly greater value than competitive technologies. Prepared by leading IT analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), the paper, titled, "Best Practices in Lifecycle Management: Comparing KACE, Altiris, LANDesk, and Microsoft SCCM," pits the four vendors against each other in key lifecycle management tasks and uses a cost comparison to determine overall solution value. "With such a strong value proposition, EMA recommends any mid-sized business evaluating solutions for lifecycle man­agement should include KBOX appliances in their product evaluations," the study states.

Lifecycle management involves a number of key disciplines aimed at achieving efficiency, productivity, and cost reduction within IT and across the company. In an update to research conducted in early 2007, the EMA study analyzes a number of key features over multiple lifecycle management disciplines, including asset and inventory management, bare metal installation, and software distribution and reporting. EMA researchers concluded KACE's technology provides equivalent - and in some cases superior - capabilities over that of its competitors, but at half the cost.

Details of the study are as follows:
