GFI Software announces GFI Cloud to simplify small business IT

GFI Software announced Thursday availability of GFI Cloud, a platform for the delivery of cloud services via a Web-based user interface, accessible from anywhere with an Internet connection, at any time. GFI Cloud permits IT administrators within small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to manage their IT systems more easily and efficiently, freeing up time and resources so they can focus on higher value and more critical tasks.

Initially, GFI Cloud will include GFI VIPRE Business Online, for delivery of advanced antivirus and anti-malware protection, and GFI Network Server Monitor Online, giving administrators the ability to monitor the health of their networks and optimize server and workstation configurations to improve performance.
In the coming months, GFI LanGuard technology will be added to the roster of services, helping IT security staff to automate software patching and vulnerability assessment via the same centralized Web portal. Additional services from the GFI Software product portfolio will be added in coming months as the company continues its investment in this revolutionary platform.
GFI Cloud gives SMBs with limited IT resources and budget easy access to GFI's award-winning solutions via a cloud-based portal that, in 10 minutes or less, lets them start to manage their whole IT network.
"With GFI Cloud we are integrating our on-premise security and infrastructure products in a unified cloud-based platform to enable IT administrators to manage their systems more easily and efficiently," said Walter Scott, CEO of GFI Software. "Many businesses have been hesitant to migrate core applications to the cloud because they are unsure about moving away from proven solutions on which they have relied to date. The beauty of GFI Cloud is that it is based on GFI's existing, tested and proven technology so users know they are getting a product in which they can have confidence from day one. GFI Cloud was built with simplicity in mind - these services can be up and running in 10 minutes or less so businesses with limited IT resources can easily and confidently deploy key security, asset tracking and network monitoring solutions in the shortest time possible."
The simplicity of GFI Cloud begins with the one-time installation of an agent that links each machine to the management console via the Web. Once connected, IT administrators log into the easy-to-use GFI Cloud console to manage essential GFI Software services on all workstations and servers intuitively from a single unifying interface. Regardless of location, the lightweight agent connects each machine to the GFI Cloud over the Internet. This enables administrators to manage PCs and laptops used by mobile or home-based employees as easily as those that are within their own sites.
"Traditionally, SMBs, especially those with limited IT resources, have not had access to these kinds of advanced solutions for various reasons – time constraints of their IT staff, low budgets and so on," continued Scott. "By offering these services through a Web-based interface and yearly subscription model, we're democratizing IT to a point where these businesses can gain the same level of network security and visibility as their enterprise counterparts."
