LANDesk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LANDesk Software, Inc. is a corporation that provides systems management, security management, and process management solutions to organizations. Certainly, it is one of the oldest companies providing this type of product.[1]

Originally founded in 1985 as LAN Systems, the company’s software product assets were acquired by Intel in 1991, forming Intel’s LANDesk division.[2] In 2002, LANDesk Software became a standalone company with headquarters near Salt Lake City, Utah.[3] The company's software is used worldwide.[4] In 2006, Avocent purchased the company for $416 million.
