FileWave is an advanced, automatic, 100% reliable way to install and configure software from a central server, even on mobile systems, without users even noticing. Even more important, FileWave self heals user systems, detecting anomalies before they become problems, ensuring the integrity of applications.

Here are some key features of "FileWave X":
FileWave XServer
The FileWave XServer is the central repository that not only holds all files to be delivered to the clients, but also maintains the status of these clients.

FileWave XAdmin
The FileWave XAdmin is the new and powerful tool that gives the network administrator complete control over what the XServer and the XClients do, and when. This easy-to-use application enables the quick creation of fileset packages that are then distributed to XClients by the XServer.

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
The FileWave Booster is a brand new UNIX based application whose function is to help scale the downloading from the FileWave XServer. With the FileWave Booster, FileWave XClients in multiple cities, even countries can download their software with minimal impact on your network.
