  • FileWave XClient
    The FileWave XClient automatically downloads new software or updates software already installed and maintains the installed state of the software. Guaranteeing that the applications delivered are always available in the proper location.

  • FileSetXMagic
    FileWave FileSet XMagic is run on Mac OS X where it creates FileSet Packages for the XServer. It is completely driven with a easy-to-user user interface. The FileSet Packages are then imported to the FileWave XServer.

  • FileWave Booster

FileWave X ReviewMultiple Admins @ IU - Version: 3.0, 7/3/2007 11:58AM PST

clarusmoof
With the release of v.3.0 a great product just got even better! In a team environment the ability to have multiple admins creating and modifying filesets simultaneously is a time saver. The ability to define access to filesets allows us to host a dual Mac and Windows FileWaver Server and prevents team members from modifying or deleting filesets.

The increased performance in speed to the filewave admin is a another added bonus.

Thanks FIleWave!!

FileWave X CommentaryNice improvements - Version: 3.0, 6/22/2007 11:17AM PST

I've only used 3.0 for a short time since it has just been released, but I've used 2.6.x for the last year, and the speed improvements for the admin app are very impressive.

I've commented elsewhere on the kind of control that FileWave gives me in determining which computers get which software- we used to make an image and put everything in it, but last year our older Macs didn't have big enough drives to do that any more, and FW allowed us to start with a base image and specify the apps on an as needed basis, per machine if necessary, though we generally worked with groups of machines.

Saved us a ton of extra work.

This version fully respects file permissions and snapshots are created in a snap! I mean this is way faster than previous versions of FileWave. Good work!
