The BigFix offerings are all driven from the Unified Management Platform or BigFix Enterprise Server (BES). This core technology allows for many different services to be applied to an organization. The BigFix product is very robust and, in the area of endpoint security, it is one of the few products which crosses the boundaries of types of endpoint control. The BigFix tool provides everything from anti-spyware to anti-virus to enforcement of encryption on all removable media. These features, as well as all of the others, are controlled through a single console, making it very convenient for administrators to define the security posture of their organization. Another unique feature of the product is the tiered structure of BES, which allows for installation with a minimum of additional hardware required. In small deployments, it is possible that additional hardware may not even be necessary.
