Business needs:

For big companies with a large number of users, also with shared workstations, or that manage personnel from subsidiaries. For complex companies, with widespread offices and staff mobility (also remote working). For companies that need authentication or a quick and secure access to the workstations and a simplified experience (e.g. through devices such as smart cards).

Features:

ThinMan Login with SSO: user authentication service for using local or domain user credentials (LDAP) to access the infrastructure. Single Sign-On support with the connection client to VDI infrastructures.

Smart Identity: access management via smart cards for two-factor authentication (password/pin) to improve User Experience and security.

Profiles – User policies: “automatic” configurations management to meet specific user needs through targeted policies, by user or LDAP groups (authentication, access to resources, custom configuration, zero config).

Business needs:

For companies with scalability requirements in the number of workstations and that need to guarantee high reliability and business continuity. Companies that adopt superior security practices and that manage IT administration through a team with different privileges.

Features:

External database: it increases scalability using an external database. Recommended for complex infrastructures with a large number of endpoints.

Secondary ThinMan: it guarantees security and continuity with “High Availability” architecture through a secondary ThinMan backup server.

Access Control List: it manages access (ACL) to ThinMan by differentiating between IT operators by user or role (integrable with LDAP). It also allows the ThinMan server management with the Remote Console.

Endpoint Security Communication: it increases the communication security with endpoints via the WSS Safe protocol, using company certificates and defining the TLS and Cipher Suite protocol level.

Multi-user and multiple consoles: it allows to use ThinMan with multiple operators, from the local console and also from the remote and Web console.

API Inventory: by enabling the REST API, the ThinMan integration with the main Asset Management tools is supported, to provide all the endpoints’ details online, including the status.

Business needs:

For large companies with distributed offices in different areas that need to optimize the organization of the infrastructure and limit consumption (energy or network traffic in cases of updating).

Features:

ThinMan Gateway: component that allows the management of endpoints installed in remote locations also connected via a normal Internet connection.

Wake on LAN Relay: it allows to access the endpoints present also in local subnets and remote locations.

Optimized Updates: thanks to the replication of packages towards ThinMan Gateways, update distribution operations on endpoints are optimized, with used network bandwidth control and update times reduction.
