Ranger for Networks

Vital Security, control and management across the entire network—regardless of client type.

Ranger for Networks maintains the richness of your Students’ ICT experience, with a native ‘look and feel’. Ranger scales up to provide fault tolerance and load balancing services across multiple servers and Domains.

• Workstation Security—enforces network and machine security to ensure that machines cannot be modified, tampered with or used incorrectly. All aspects of the user interface can be configured, on a per group basis, to present a clear, secure environment that retains the full look and feel of the operating system in use.
• LAN Ranger—provides real-time statistics and control over all the clients on the network as well as comprehensive reporting and logging facilities of total system usage.
• Ranger RollOut—allows applications to be installed remotely to workstations across the network without user intervention. Applications can be installed at user logon or at any time.
• Quota Manager—provides simple disk quota management tools to ensure that students cannot use more than their share of network disk space.
• Ranger Account Manager—simplifies user account and home directory management by providing wizard-based tools for adding, importing, modifying and deleting network user accounts.
• User Control Panel—provides users with basic tools with which they can safely customise their working environment.
• Ranger React—allows you to perform automatic actions in response to events as and when they happen on the network. It also allows you to pre-schedule administration tasks to occur on workstations at specific times.

Ranger for Primary

All the features of Ranger for Networks especially for Primary Schools

Ranger Primary can help running a network at a Primary School or smaller establishment easier. By prohibiting accidental or deliberate configuration changes to workstations and removing the ability of students to install unlicensed and unnecessary software, Ranger Primary ensures your workstations remain consistently configured, easy to use and simple to maintain.

Ranger Outpost

Remote Access for students and staff

Ranger Outpost provides a safe, reliable and effective Remote Access solution that enables your students and staff to remotely access their work from your network 24 hours a day.

Ranger Print Manager

Manage your print costs more effectively with Ranger Print Manager

Control and accounting for print costs across a network needn’t be problematic with Print Manager. Each user is automatically assigned a print account from which they can only print up to their budget, with a fully customisable message pop-up if they run out of credit.

Ranger Remote Control

Enhance whole-class teaching by allowing staff to monitor, interact with and assist students—remotely.

Ranger Remote allows staff to view and control workstations remotely across the network and the classroom. Ranger Remote Control empowers the teacher to control and manage the students’ use of their computers throughout the entire lesson.

Ranger Solo

Extend Ranger’s control to laptops or stand-alone machines.

If you have laptops or stand-alone machines to complement your network, you will want to ensure that these are secure and remain consistently configured.
