PRODUCTS
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 DASH Plug-in

TheMicrosoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM 2007) plug-inallows. IT professionals to take full advantage of Microsoft SCCM for out-of-band management of systems that conform to the DASHspecification, developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). Using the plug-in, you can remotely manage and support commercial desktop and notebook PCs, even when powered off (out-of-band) or out-of-service. The Wake on LAN capability powers on systems to ensure software deployments, particularly urgent critical and security patches.

Capabilities of the plug in includes: Auto Discovery: Discover DASH capable systems individually or within a collection Remote Power Control: Power Off, Power On, Power Reset and Power Cycle a DASH collection or an individual system Wake-on-DASH and Boot Device Control Provisioning: Setting security credentials in the DASH MC (for a client or collection) Create new user and Password Modify existing user and assign a user to a capability role Alerting Capabilities:

Subscribe to events, such as CPU temperature, Boot failure, etc.

DASH Software Development SDK

The DASH SDK provides software in source and binary form to allow

management consoles and management applications to support the DMTF DASH interface. It consists of libraries, command-line (CLI) utilities, and example code that are used to facilitate DASH integration with industry management consoles. Applications built using the SDK can discover and interact with any DASH-enabled Management Access Points (MAPs) to which they have network access and the required credentials. Components Low-Level APIs As development partners, GNHSoft and Advanced Micro Devices has joined forces to promote industry standards for client management solutions aiming to accelerate the adoption of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) standard. High-Level APIs For common operations such as discovery, power-on/ff, and basic inventory. The high-level API is an abstraction layer and minimizes the exposure of the console to details of the low-level DASH protocol stack. CLI utilities for both APIs Supported Operating Systems

Windows and Linux C/C++

INDUSTRIAL PROFILE Information technology, and the hardware and software associated with the IT industry, are an integral part of nearly every major global industry. The information technology (IT) industry has become of the most robust industries in the world. IT, more than any other industry or economic facet, has an increased productivity, particularly in the developed world, and therefore is a key driver of global economic growth. Economies of scale and insatiable demand from both consumers and enterprises characterize this rapidly growing sector. The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) explains 'information technology' as encompassing all possible aspects of information systems based on computers. Both software development and the hardware involved in the IT industry include everything from computer systems, to the design, implementation, study and development of IT and management systems. Features of the IT Industry at a Glance

Economies of scale for the information technology industry are high. The marginal cost of each unit of additional software or hardware is insignificant compared to the

value addition that results from it.

Unlike other common industries, the IT industry is knowledge-based.

Efficient utilization of skilled labor forces in the IT sector can help an economy achieve a rapid pace of economic growth. The IT industry helps many other sectors in the growth process of the economy including the services and manufacturing sectors.

The role of the IT Industry The IT industry can serve as a medium of e-governance, as it assures easy accessibility to information. The use of information technology in the service sector improves operational efficiency and adds to transparency. It also serves as a medium of skill formation. MAJOR STEPS TAKEN FOR PROMTION OF IT INDUSTRY Domain of the IT Industry A wide variety of services come under the domain of the information technology industry. Some of these services are as follows:

Systems architecture Database design and development Networking Application development Testing

Documentation Maintenance and hosting Operational support Security services
