I'd take a look at the KACE (Now Dell) Kbox systems, the last time I looked
at them a couple of years ago they did all that.
Available as both physical Dell boxes or VM appliances.
If I remember correctly I think they had a multiple tenancy facility, but I
could be mistaken.

We've had good experience with Continuum, a MSP platform, albeit so
far for clients smaller than 50 seats.

Almost all the Virginia Community colleges, dumped Altiris in favor of KACE.
The latest update to Altiris was a disaster for everyone that attempted it.
We were not one of the brave colleges to try, but from what I heard, the system
requirements were huge, a dual socket, quad core server with
Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. We had MS come in and give us a
presentation on SCCM 2012, and then had Symantec come in for Altiris. Got

I’m curious. What impressed you about Altiris?
I ask because, from what I’ve heard, they are good presenters and good
salespeople, but the product itself has really tanked since the Symantec
acquisition.

Anyway, AZ Dept of Corrections tries to use SCCM. I'd say it's been a
failure for many reasons. I work for basically an ADC subnet, and I try to
manually touch every machine (about 200) on a regular basis.
Obviously that's not practical for everyone.

I say that because, 2012 with SP1 allows less infrastructure, views into the

We specifically told them we would be getting a similar MS presentation.
The thing to keep in mind when comparing these 2 products from a high
level is that you do get all the SCCM products in one suite now, which is
fantastic (Orchestrator, VMM, etc...) but they are still separate
Of course there's a larger problem, none of which is within my control.
They've been screwing around with SCCM for several years, including using MS

Not worth the effort at this point.

Wow.I feel sorry for you, man. Your life could be a lot easier. Frankly,
I'm not surprised MS consulting can't get it working. We were having a
discussion about this last week. MCS has about as much time to ramp up on
the new products as everyone else, a lot of it has to be done on their own.
Thanks. I don't know who they've been working with. I'm not on that team.
I have no idea how far along they've gotten. Remote control and imaging was
their 1st priorities.
