Streamlining Patch Testing and Deployment

As corporate IT departments work to keep up with the increasing number of threats, vulnerabilities and patches, they are faced with two key challenges—testing patches for compatibility with standard corporate hardware, OS and application configurations, and efficiently deploying critical patches throughout the enterprise.

LANDesk Software and VMware provide solutions for both of these problems. VMware® GSX Server™ enables the creation of virtual machines that run as applications on a single server. That gives IT staff the tools to create and run a variety of standardized test configurations with less cost, faster roll back and reduced management. LANDesk® Management Suite with LANDesk® Patch Manager automates the patch download, distribution and verification process. Used together, these solutions enable fast, efficient patch evaluation, testing and deployment across the enterprise.
