A global provider of information technology (IT) automation software for IT solution providers and public and private sector IT organizations, Kaseya, introduced its Kaseya User State Management (KUSM) module. The ability to remotely manage desktops, including powering them down when not in use, is given by the new technology to managed service providers (MSPs) and IT professionals. Providing the tools necessary to further integrate power management policies into Kaseya's advanced systems management console, the new module delivers, in addition, an automated desktop migration solution and enables the definition and deployment of group profiles.

Making tasks such as providing reporting, application settings, backup and deploying user accounts, user settings and system settings manageable remotely and transparently from a single point, the Kaseya User State Management (KUSM) module, leveraging technology acquired through the purchase of Versora in June of 2007, integrates into the Kaseya IT Automation Framework.

Increasing productivity and contributing to energy conservation, implementing KUSM combined with Intel® vPro™ technology allows IT professionals and MSPs to execute power management without compromising system management. The user is able, through this functionality, to remotely power off computers and promote energy efficiency during non-productive hours, then power on to conduct routine off hour IT tasks. The user can wake up an out-of-band PC or laptop to perform standard IT tasks remotely, by automating IT processes, implementing best practices and providing consistent customer service levels, even while going green.

KUSM provides the user, through its Policy Management feature, with the ability to define and deploy various sets of corporate policies and profiles - such as power settings and drive and printer mappings - to fit the needs of the organization.
