Soon to be Managing Macs, and More!

I'm very excited to see the news from our managed services software provider Kaseya. As some know, Kaseya is one of the pieces of software that we use to provide our Managed IT service (shameless plug).
The new release allows us to run scripts on, and remotely control Mac machines. We already support a number of Mac machines in Windows networks, but we've never really gone so far as to load any remote access software. This is a huge improvement, and I'm sure one that Kaseya went through great efforts to effect.
The vPro improvement is cool as well, as it will allow us to be a little "greener." Users will be able to shut down their computers rather than leaving them running, and we'll be able to run a script to wake the machines up, perform updates and other scripts, and shut the computer down - all remotely. Of course, the machines need to have the right hardware, but that will be coming as the workstations turn over in the coming months and years.
The article's dead-on that it is by far Kaseya's biggest enhancement ever, and I couldn't be happier to have chosen such a best-in-breed technology to build our business upon.
