How it works
UpdateXpress enables you to maintain your systems Windows Device Driver and firmware at the most current levels, helping you avoid unnecessary outages. UpdateXpress automatically detects current device driver and firmware levels, providing the option of selecting specific upgrades or allowing UpdateXpress to update all of the system levels it detect as needing an upgrade
At a glance
UpdateXpress keeps your system running optimally by:
- Detecting the current level of system and subsystem firmware and then enabling the upgrade of firmware: BIOS, diagnostics, systems management processors, ServeRAID™ , tape drives, and hard disk drives
- Detecting the current level of device drivers and enabling the upgrade of Windows Device Drivers: SCSI controllers, Ethernet controllers, systems management processors, ServeRAID™
- Designed to protect privacy – Service Advisor only sends data that user would manually send, no client data is ever sent
- Allowing you to manually select updates to be applied to specific components or letting UpdateXpress perform an automatic upgrade of the system and subsystem components
- UpdateXpress provides the ability to identify and distribute self-installable firmware and device driver updates to any target machine on your LAN that is running Windows.
- Providing update packages that can be used with standard software distribution tools such as those found in IBM Director and Microsoft® SMS.
Product benefits
