The IT industry is starting to address patch management
in a virtual server environment. The latest company to offer
virtual testing technology is Enteo.
Rolling out applications and patches in a thin client
environment can be problematic for IT departments because any flaw
in the software has the potential to affect a large number of
users.
To overcome this, IT managers can use virtualisation technology
to emulate the IT environment and test software before it is
deployed.
The latest version of Enteo Management Suite for Citrix
Presentation Server, which automates application and patch
distribution, offers reporting and modelling tools that allow IT
managers to assess the potential impact of new software on
systems.
