Dell Unveils New Version Of Dell KACE K1000 Management Appliance

Dell Software has announced the latest version of the Dell KACE K1000 Management Appliance, which now includes integrated software asset management to boost software license compliance, while helping lower IT costs. A flagship product in Dell Software’s endpoint systems management portfolio, the K1000 adds automated software asset identification, tracking and optimisation to its comprehensive list of capabilities for managing the deployment, operation and retirement of an organisation’s critical software assets.

With this latest release, the K1000 simplifies the increasingly arduous task of responding to software audits by tracking, assessing and ensuring software license compliance across multiple versions, as well as inconsistent package and component names. Additionally, the K1000 eases the burden of determining software usage, which is exceedingly difficult due to complex software licensing structures. As a result, Dell Software can empower organisations of all sizes to identify software licenses with great accuracy while making it easy to reclaim and reallocate underutilised software.

“Constant market changes such as mergers, acquisitions and product End-of-Life (EOL) announcements often increase an organisation’s risk of exposure to non-compliance fines or software overspending,” said David Kloba, General Manager of Endpoint Systems Management for Dell Software. “By extending the K1000’s capabilities with automated and integrated software asset management, Dell is making major strides in helping our customers improve software compliance, reduce unnecessary license costs and accelerate software migrations.”
