November 29, 2001—Peregrine Systems, Inc., one of the world’s leading software companies, announces the launch of Xanadu, a breakthrough IT asset management appliance designed specifically for small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs). Peregrine simultaneously announced it has established the Xanadu Business Group, which is dedicated to developing strategic relationships with channel partners to serve SMB customers. Designed to serve as a company’s “next IT employee,” Peregrine claims its product will make it possible to deliver sophisticated IT asset management services with a rapid return on investment to smaller companies and departments of larger organizations.
Packaged as an appliance and delivered as a service, Peregrine’s Xanadu represents a major innovation in IT asset management. It is the first self-installing, self-detecting, no-maintenance appliance, which offers asset discovery, asset tracking and incident reporting capabilities coupled with web-delivered employee self service. Xanadu continuously identifies, monitors and manages an organization’s entire IT network, providing easily understandable, comprehensive views of an organization’s vital assets—network, desktop and mobile devices—24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, Xanadu features a user-friendly Web portal, which enables employees at client organizations to report incidents quickly and easily via the Internet. Xanadu is designed to be fully operational within days of installation, accelerating time to productivity for organizations using it at an unprecedented rate.
