Focus On:
What’s new in
software and solutions
Improved usability and security
Lexmark has released version 3.0 of
Markvision Enterprise (MVE 3.0), its
fleet management software solution.
MVE 3.0 features a completely
redesigned interface that removes the
need for browser plug-ins, enabling faster
performance, improved usability, increased
security and reduced set-up time. It also
provides improved visibility of a multi-
vendor fleet of network printers and
multifunction devices.
The software automatically discovers
devices on the network and configures
settings including security policies, for
example by closing unnecessary ports,
applying access controls and performing
scheduled checks to verify that devices
meet security policies, with automatic
remediation of machines that are out of
policy.
Allen Waugerman, Senior Vice President
and Chief Technology Officer, Lexmark,
said: “Lexmark’s Markvision Enterprise
has a long history of giving customers the
ability to centrally manage their entire fleet
of enterprise devices, whether they have a
few or a few thousand devices. Markvision
Enterprise 3.0 improves on that tradition
with enhanced usability and security.”
Vantage experiences major
surge in software uptake
After a record first sales quarter,
software developer Vantage has
seen a major surge in the uptake
of its service management system
Vantage Online in Q2, with continued
new business wins and, among
existing clients, a growing number of
migrations from the legacy Service
Accent system.
It is turning out to be a very successful
2017 for Vantage, which has already
developed and released cutting edge
integrations with complementary systems,
including most DCAs, and online ordering
platforms from leading distributors such as
Westcoast and Data Direct.

Microsoft Corp to participate in its elite channel programme. The programme will
accelerate adoption of Showpad through the worldwide Microsoft reseller channel.

enablement solution and its ability to amplify the value of product integrations with

Scality launches Zenko
Object and cloud storage specialist
Scality has announced the open source
launch of Scality Zenko, a Multi-Cloud
Data Controller. The solution is free
to use and embed into developer
applications, opening a new world of
multi-cloud storage for developers.
Zenko provides a unified interface, based
on a proven implementation of the Amazon
S3 API across clouds. This allows any cloud
to be addressed with the same API and
access layer, while storing information in
their respective native formats.
The company’s vision for Zenko is to
add data management controls to protect
vital business assets, and metadata search
to quickly subset large datasets based on
simple business descriptors.
