Application Delivery infrastructures based on Microsoft or Citrix technologies form the foundation for flexible enterprise Application Delivery. visionapp Server Management ensures automated, standardized andstable operation of these environments while minimizing operating costs.

Cutting the cost of comprehensive server management

Automation of the installation and operational processes of Windows-based server environments through a consolidated, graphical management interface minimizes the time and costs of day-to-day operation while at the same time boosting efficiency. Functions for planning recurring activities and pending tasks allow a targeted use of maintenance windows outside normal business hours. And the energy saving functions of vSM help reduce energy costs in the data center by providing system resources according to the companies requirements.

Package templates for rapid implementation
More than 1,500 quality-tested and Citrix Ready verified package templates for common applications, operating systems, Citrix software, hotfixes and patches allow a fast, reliable environment build. A continually expanding range of available package templates ensures that the installed base is always up to date.

Flexible and reliable software deployment
Especially in Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008 and Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 environments, identical, reproducible installations of servers and server farms guarantee stable, trouble-free operation. visionapp's proprietary solution - Installation Control Manager (ICM) - has been tailored specifically to meet these requirements. In addition to ICM, the integration of Microsoft ADS and SMS, Altiris Server Management, enteo OSD and NetInstall provide maximum flexibility for integration into existing environments. To ensure a successful installation and control, these tasks are always performed through vSM.

Centralize and go global
Supporting multiple languages, and with its authorization and role concept within the administration interface, vSM provides all the necessary features for international deployment through distributed tasks and access rights.

ITIL-conformance for audit trail and reproducibility
In conjunction with installation state and history analysis capabilities, the integration of ITIL concepts for Configuration, Change and Release Management provide maximum auditing capability to comply with regulatory requirements. The detailed, archived installation logging and installation automation allows the recovery of previous server and farm configurations
with minimal time delays.

Central administration of distributed and large-scale environments
With its multi-site capability vSM supports the convenient administration of large, geographically distributed server environments and terminal server farms. The complete application delivery server infrastructure can be managed either centrally or by decentralized teams. In large installations or updates, vSM automatically ensures controlled access coordination to prevent resource congestion.

Optimization of Microsoft and Citrix environments
Numerous expansions of Microsoft and Citrix's functionality - such as fully automatic printer installation or automatic configuration of Microsoft and Citrix server farms - simplify administration and complete vSM's outstanding functionality.
