Netopia netOctopus Enterprise Systems Manager

This smart multi-platform system management solution protects and maintains your most strategic asset - your network. From remote software distribution to system configuration and comprehensive inventories, netOctopus gives you the power to be more productive in less time.

Turn Your Network Into a Strategic Asset

With its power, versatility and ease of use, netOctopus is the premier systems administration tool for the multi-platform enterprise. Use netOctopus for:

Software Distribution
The all new netOctopus Software Delivery System (SDS) automates the most time consuming and costly parts of deploying software across your network. With netOctopus, software updates, or new software roll-outs can be scheduled and run from a centralized location, using custom installer packages you create. But one of the most overlooked parts of software distribution comes long before the applications are installed. Use netOctopus to determine whether your company is in compliance with software licensing agreements; to determine which systems need upgrades; to find out what machines may need OS or hardware upgrades before you can even install the new software. netOctopus can dramatically reduce your preparation and planning time for every software roll-out.

Asset Management
In today's business environment, people need to choose the best operating systems and applications to be effective in their jobs. Keeping track of all these assets, applications and software licenses throughout a LAN, WAN, or global distributed enterprise is a full time job in itself. With netOctopus, over 500 hardware, software and system details can be at your fingertips instantly - stored in a database for searching, sorting and reporting. Information-gathering should be a tool, not an obstacle.

Remote Configuration
Even within a single building, it takes time to send technicians around to every workstation, checking and adjusting system and network settings, or ensuring compliance with company policies. For help desk technicians to talk end users through these adjustments on the phone may take even longer. netOctopus allows you to check and adjust system settings remotely, saving time, and making your IT staff more productive.

Greater efficiency and higher productivity saves you time, and time is money. netOctopus can make your job easier, and turn your network into a strategic asset.
