Product Description

BruteAPPS manages deployment of new applications and software upgrades without the need to re-provision existing desktops or laptops within the installed base.

BruteAPPS enables you to downsize your current application management system to a centralized configuration, and eliminates the need for local or remote distribution servers without the disadvantages of centralized networks. BruteAPPS leverages our federated distribution technology (DBx) which enables every computer in your IT landscape to act as a client and/or server. Distribution of new application packages and upgrades are transmitted once over the WAN, and are then shared between computers on the LAN via our DBx connections.

BruteAPPS seamlessly enhances your existing desktop management system.

The flexibility of BruteAPPS allows for complete unattended application installs and upgrades of desktops and laptops, irrespective of operating systems or platforms.

The efficiency and speed of BruteAPPS, removes the need to distribute and install applications outside of normal working hours. Distribution of software is now completed in minutes instead of hours. Our innovative and unique DBx technology enables users to switch their computers off or on any time during software distribution. This key feature provides flexibility to the end user without affecting the desktop management process.

In addition to the efficiencies gained through using our products, IT organizations are able to remove remote distribution servers which translate into significant cost savings and lowers energy consumption.

Our solution is available as a standalone software distribution solution; or as an amplification of your existing desktop management system.

BruteAPPS truly delivers the answers to the daily challenges IT organizations are facing in deployment and upgrading of applications.
