Software Management and Updates
HP provides several tools for managing and updating software on
client PCs—HP Client Manager Software, an Altiris solution;
Altiris PC Transplant Pro; and System Software Manager.
HP Client Manager Software
HP Client Manager Software (HP CMS) integrates HP Intelligent
Manageability technology within Altiris software. HP CMS
provides superior hardware management capabilities for HP
devices that include:
■ Detailed views of hardware inventory for asset management.
■ PC health check monitoring and diagnostics.
■ Web-accessible reporting of business critical details such as
machines with thermal warnings, and memory alerts.
■ Remote updating of system software such as device drivers
and ROM BIOS.
✎
Additional functionality can be added when HP CMS is used with
optional Altiris Solutions software (purchased separately). For
more information, see “Altiris Solutions” later in this chapter.
