Remove BigFix

Key components of the BigFix service delivery platform include the BigFix Agent, BigFix Server and Console, BigFix Fixlet messages, and BigFix Relays. The BigFix Platform creates a lightweight communications and management infrastructure for delivery of security and system management services to networked desktop, laptop/notebook and server computers. By assigning responsibility for reporting and management actions on endpoints themselves, the BigFix Platform enables visibility and management of IT infrastructures ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of desktop, mobile and server computers. The BigFix Agent resides on managed devices and acts as a universal policy engine capable of delivering multiple management services. A single BigFix Agent can execute a diverse and extensible array of management services that range from real-time client status reporting, to patch and software distribution, to security policy enforcement. The BigFix Agent also automatically notifies the BigFix Server and Console of changes in managed device configuration, providing a real-time view of device status. In addition to a standard array of management services available from BigFix, Inc., customers and developers can create custom policies and services using a published BigFix authoring language.
