EMCO is a software development company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Reykjavik, Iceland. It develops network management software used for automation of remote administration, network audit, remote software deployment, network monitoring, permissions audit and power management tasks in corporate networks.[1] In addition to commercial products, the company also offers a set of freeware utilities for system management and network administration.[2]
Products
EMCO provides commercial solutions and freeware tools for automation of network administration tasks and remote management of Windows computers. The company products are implemented as Windows desktop applications with a graphical user interface. They are designed to be installed on servers or administrator desktops and used for centralized network management. The IT staff working with those applications must have an administrative access to the network computers in order to manage them remotely. EMCO products rely on the Microsoft network infrastructure to perform remote management operations, thus allowing management of computers within a local network only. Remote management access to computers via the Internet is not provided.
Free Software
The company offers multiple freeware tools and utilities that can be used for automation of several typical network management tasks and system problems troubleshooting. Free network applications are designed for network administrators who need to collect information or perform certain operations with remote computers. Free system utilities can be used by IT administration staff and by individual users to resolve a number of problems with personal computers.
