ActiveCare Features:

ActiveCare

Antivirus

ActiveCare can track and verify the integrity of well known antivirus programs and alet ComTech  of unsynchronized antivirus definition files. ComTech also bundles, at no extra cost, AVG Professional antivirus for server, desktop and gateway protection.

Malware/Spyware Protection and Removal

ActiveCare incorporates a comprehensive engine (Counterspy from Sunbelt Software) that runs seamlessly and automatically in the background daily to protect desktops against malware, spyware and worms.

Dashboard

ActiveCare has a built-in web dashboard driven user interface (UI) that gives our customers a bird's eye view of IT assets (servers, desktops, network devices) across the customers site(s).

Reporting Engine and Executive Reports

ActiveCare's reporting features contain pre-defined reports for asset management, performance trending, patch analysis, antivirus and anti-spyware details as well as change reports. ActiveCare also contains a report builder where you can create a report of your liking. Lastly, ActiveCare generates "Executive Reports" either on-demand or at the end of the month which will be presented to the customer monthly.

Monitoring and Trend Reporting

ActiveCare features include monitoring for availability, performance, capacity and security with an advanced  escalation and an alerting system to proactively notify ComTech in case an element in our customer's network develops a problem. Secondly, ActiveCare stores the data gathered from monitoring for generating trend analysis reports, analytical reports and summary reports. Such reports are very useful for planning and predictive analysis.  ActiveCare works on a remote monitoring architecture and supports a variety of protocols such as SNMP, WMI, Event Log Monitoring, SSH/Telnet, PerfMon, etc.

Servers/Devices

Servers and the server operating system are monitored for various parameters such as CPU, memory, disk, event log information, critical processes, services and response time. Directly out of the box, ActiveCare's features include monitoring parameters for Windows, Linux, IP Devices and SNMP enabled devices such as printers, routers, switches and firewalls.

Applications

ActiveCare contains pre-compiled parameters to monitor well-known applications such as Exchange, SQL Server, Terminal Server, Oracle, Citrix, Anti-Virus, Blackberry and a host of other applications. The ability to monitor the entire stack of the application and the server makes problem detection and planning very easy.

Backup Monitoring and managing backups, especially tape backups, are highly time-consuming tasks. ActiveCare has an extensive module dedicated to reporting and monitoring backups from applications like Veritas Back Exec. Issues like tracking failed and completed jobs, time taken for backups and reports on restores are all included.

Asset / Inventory Management

ActiveCare contains a detailed inventory management module that automatically scans a network and develops a comprehensive inventory of desktops, servers, software and network configurations. IT asset audits, determining license compliance and determining upgrades is a job made easy. This module also features change tracking, hardware and software, between multiple asset scans.

Remote Control

ActiveCare allows either permission based or unattended remote control of desktops and laptops when they are connected to the Internet. Similarly, ComTech’s engineers can use ActiveCare to remote into servers through RDP without opening ports or without needing to know the server's IP address. Every remote control session has audit and screen capture functions.

Software and Job Deployment

ActiveCare can be used to deploy software, updates and fixes automatically to workstations and servers across the network. Any package or script can be deployed such as a MSI package, a batch file or a custom developed package.

Patch Management

ActiveCare has a built-in engine to scan the network for missing security patches which can then be automatically downloaded, packaged according to each machine's configuration and delivered. As part of the patch management process we have a security team in place that provides a whitelist/blacklist service for all Microsoft patches and updates.
