We are unique from many startups in that the problems we are trying to solve are not new. The challenges and pitfalls of maintaining and securing PCs are well documented, and there are many existing companies attempting to tackle different aspects of the problem.
The advantage we have as a new entrant is that we are in no way limited by “the way things have always been done.” Since we have no stake in the status quo, we bring an entirely fresh perspective, as well as an architectural approach that was not technically feasible prior to recent advances in virtualization software and hardware technology.
Over the next couple of days, I’ll post some thoughts on how age old PC management challenges can be tackled in a completely different way using NxTop, our PC management platform.
These thoughts are around the top five PC management challenges we’ve been hearing about:
- Complex patch management
- Too many agents
- Flawed security model
- Image bloat
- Tough to recover from problems
(Note: This post has been updated with links to all five PC management challenges.)
