Unified management with BigFix also extends across a remarkable breadth of computing platforms:

Automation of Infrastructure Management

With BigFix’s unified management model, customers can radically simplify and automate infrastructure management, saving costs and improving service delivery:

Automation

Many unnecessary operational tasks can be eliminated and others significantly streamlined, resulting in rapid cycle times; e.g., patch management process cycle times can typically be compressed by 80%.

Easy Adoption and Low TCO

BigFix is remarkably easy to adopt. Once the management framework is deployed (a process that may take a few hours to a few days for very large networks) deploying BigFix applications is simple. Customers simply subscribe to those applications that meet their needs via on-demand content streams, thus eliminating the typical implementation cycle and the costs of traditional solutions.

The BigFix Difference

BigFix delivers superior, customer-documented, return-on-investment through slashing IT infrastructure costs of ownership and management complexity while enabling IT organizations to elevate IT infrastructure management from tactical necessity to a strategic business advantage.
