New LogMeIn Central Release Boosts Management Capabilities, Debuts IT Automation

SaaS-based One2Many Feature Enables Automation, Distribution of Software and Files to Computers On-and-Off the LAN

Sydney, Australia, 12 October 2010 – LogMeIn, Inc. today unveiled a significant new release of LogMeIn Central, the company’s web-based management console, to help IT professionals and power users better access and manage tens, hundreds or thousands of computers across distributed work environments. The new release introduces end-to-end automation for remote management, expanding LogMeIn’s remote access product line and enabling the simultaneous distribution of software and files to Internet connected computers.

Headlining the Central release is a new feature called One2Many, which allows users to automate administrative tasks, including the ability to: • Install, update or remove software on remote machines • Run scripts, batch updates and remote commands across multiple computers simultaneously • Distribute files, updates and patches to specific computers • Update registry settings or create custom packages for more advanced management

Designed for Distributed Work Environments LogMeIn Central gives IT professionals and power users the ability to centrally manage computers -- deploy software, manage user access, inventory computer hardware and software, set up in-depth alerting and reporting -- with or without on-LAN or VPN connectivity. Central works in conjunction with computers running LogMeIn Free or LogMeIn Pro², the free and premium versions of LogMeIn’s flagship remote access product.

More than 4,000 participants, including Managed Service Providers (MSPs), outsourced IT consultants and internal IT departments, participated in the beta program for the new LogMeIn Central, and directly helped to shape the new features. Apunipima, an Aboriginal community controlled primary health care provider serving the Cape York region, uses LogMeIn Central to remotely manage the systems used by doctors, nurses and allied health staff traveling between their regional offices and clinics.

“LogMeIn Central has provided a simple yet robust means of remotely managing the off-network computers distributed amongst our staff who are constantly travelling to various remote Indigenous communities across Cape York,” said Jody Blackwood, IT Manager for Apunipima. “The new One2Many will further improve the scope of what we are able to do remotely, offering us the ability to rapidly deploy software and updates not included in our standard software set.”

“The latest release of LogMeIn Central significantly extends the range of our remote access product line to incorporate IT automation and remote management,” said Andrew Burton, LogMeIn’s vice president, Access & Management. “Our users clearly communicated the value and time savings that can be achieved through IT automation, and this release is a direct result of their input and feedback.” Pricing and availability The updated LogMeIn Central is immediately available and is priced at $376 AUD per year, supporting an unlimited number of users and instances of LogMeIn Free. It is available as a free update to existing LogMeIn Central customers. The new Central One2Many capabilities work in conjunction with LogMeIn Pro²for Windows.
