Netopia Releases NetOctopus Systems Manager 5.0

Netopia has released version 5.0 of its netOctopus Systems Manager for Windows and Mac OS X including "Panther." Netopia's netOctopus Enterprise Systems Manager is used to inventory, track and remotely manage all computers and software on a corporate network.

Netopia's new release includes MSI compliant installers, improved software recognition and inventory, updated netOctopus Agent deployment tools, and a new custom fields module designed to enable total lifecycle management of network assets. This new custom fields module allows administrators to create a virtually unlimited number of fields for their asset management databases and perform calculations on those fields with each update.

"With over 150 new features, Panther is way ahead of the competition and sets a new gold standard for desktop operating systems," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Netopia's asset management software enables network administrators to easily manage all systems and software on a corporate network including Mac users who will take advantage of Panther, Apple's fourth major release in four years."

NetOctopus Enterprise Systems Manager 5.0 is available online at www.netoctopus.com as well as shipping on CDs.
