SEATTLE, March 9, 2006 - HyBlue announced the release today HyBlue Patch--a unique patch and systems management solution. Patch proactively reports on system status, operations and patch status and offers IT professionals quick and easy patch deployment.
This innovative service merges the power of HyBlue's proactive systems monitoring with a comprehensive patch management solution. Sold as Software as a Service (SaaS), HyBlue Patch is designed to install in minutes and go to work without the need for a time consuming IT project. Just download the software and it goes to work! A network of 200 computers can be fully functional in less than a day with HyBlue's easy installation process. And since Patch is a service, no additional hardware or software is required.
Once installed, Patch keeps IT staff up to date on system status in real-time. Additionally, Patch's regularly scheduled patch compliance reports alert IT staff when computers are not up-to-date with patches from Microsoft and other vendors. The IT staff then selects computers to be updated on our web Portal and sends patches to the computers, no matter where they are in the world.
"IT professionals struggle with patch management" said Matthew Sutton, HyBlue's CEO, "it is time consuming and expensive. We built our solution to reduce the time spent on patches to a few hours a month, no matter how large the network. And with our intelligent system monitoring and alerting, IT professionals have their finger on the pulse of all their computers"
Patch is sold via qualified resellers or directly to mid sized and larger companies. Starting at just $5.95 per month per computer retail, Patch can save as much as a thousand dollars a year relative to other less effective patch management schemes. And it includes real-time monitoring and alerting on your systems at no extra cost.
Patch is also a part of HyBlue's Secure offering, the first fully managed security solution designed for small and medium sized businesses. With protection against virus, spyware, hackers and rogue applications plus system monitoring and patch management, Secure ensures computers are healthy, secure and up to date no matter where they are.
