Tags:

Overview R. W. Beck continually needs to keep its more than 500 PCs patched and updated. It’s IT staff needs a solution that allows it to test updates before distribution, minimizes bandwidth consumption, and works without requiring a technician to manage the process at each machine. It has that solution with Microsoft Software Update Services, available with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. The company deployed SUS without incident and has not had a single successful virus attack on a managed PC since. The company saves money each year by using its existing Microsoft Windows Server System resources instead of a third-party solution, and saves even more by not losing revenue to virus attacks. The IT team gains peace of mind and the time to focus on more strategic projects.
