Ranger for Networks and Ranger Primary – Giving you fast and flexible control over your ICT network

Managing a school’s ICT network can be a time consuming and challenging task. Ranger for Networks provides management and security software which sits alongside your current operating system assisting you with routine ICT tasks without compromising users’ performance or productivity.

So how can Ranger for Networks help?

• Centralised management - The easy-to-use functionality of Ranger for Networks enables you to centrally manage PC configuration and provides total, real-time visibility of your entire network. Banning or restricting access to applications or certain drives can be done in just a few clicks from any networked PC.

• Automates routine tasks – creating new user accounts can be done in one easy step.  ‘Ranger Account Manager’ automatically creates user accounts, home directories and profiles in the fraction of the time usually spent on this task.

• Remote Installation – installing new applications on all networked PCs can be streamlined. ‘Ranger Rollout’ remotely installs applications from one PC, without user intervention.

• Saves time and resources – Using Ranger React can ensure that routine tasks are not forgotten. You can schedule tasks to occur on workstations and servers automatically. For example, scheduling PCs to switch off at 5pm everyday saves time and electricity costs as well as helping the environment.
   

Ranger Primary delivers exactly the same benefits as Ranger for Networks but it is tailored to suit a primary school. It enables you to customise the look and feel of your Windows environment, for different age groups and abilities. “For us, Ranger for Networks is like having another full-time member of staff – it’s invaluable.”
