LONDON, July 26, 2010 - GFI Software, www.gfi.com, a leading infrastructure provider for
small and medium-sized businesses, today announced that GFI MAX
RemoteManagement
(www.gfi.com/it-managed-services-software/features/remote-support-access/),
its award-winning remote management and monitoring solution, now
features Take Control (www.gfi.com/it-managed-services-software) for
easy, fast, secure remote access and user assistance. Managed Service
Providers (MSPs) and IT support companies can now connect easily and securely
to any monitored server or workstation, whether attended or unattended, with
one click from the GFI MAX (www.gfi.com/max-family) dashboard.

companies, VARs and MSPs use the software to maximise revenues, minimise

up in 10 minutes and requires no training, hardware, contracts, or
contractual commitments.

"The capability to deliver complete unattended remote access with no
additional open ports or VPN connections being required has been one of the
most requested features for remote management solution. We are very excited
to announce the release of our Take Control (TC) feature, which will deliver
this as a fully-integrated part of the GFI MAX RemoteManagement solution,"
said Dr Alistair Forbes, Chief Technology Officer, GFI MAX.

Integration of TC with the RemoteManagement dashboard means customers can
get onto a machine with a problem instantly and resolve the problem as
efficiently as possible. The functionality of the solution builds on the
market-leading capabilities of the underlying technology, including multiple
concurrent sessions, file transfer, integrated text, voice and even video
chat for user support applications.

"The technology that underpins Take Control is already in use by millions
of users and so we are confident it will be a robust, reliable solution from
day one. TC will be priced competitively in relation to standalone products
and will be within the overall price cap for GFI MAX remote management
services, so customers already making extensive use of the existing features
will get this additional capability at no extra charge," adds Dr Forbes.
