ManageEngine announced that Desktop Central is now available in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure marketplaces, and the company also announced other key enhancements including support for Linux patch management, patch management via the iOS mobile app, automatic reconnection after initiated reboot in a remote session and more. Together, the new features combine to improve the Desktop Central experience for desktop administrators.
"Four out of five businesses today have adopted the concept of cloud computing instead of maintaining traditional servers, as it gives them flexibility to fulfill fluctuating demands and robust disaster recovery, not to mention it saves time that would be otherwise wasted with maintenance," said Mathivanan Venkatachalam, Director of Product Management for Desktop Central at ManageEngine. "By hosting Desktop Central on their AWS and Azure instances, our customers will be able to utilize these cloud services to achieve operational excellence."
